Dear Johnson Family,

I am very sorry to hear about Terry. When we were much younger Terry was like an older brother to me. I remember playing in the "tree fort", and the many games of one on one home run derby he and I played against each other in the back yard behind our house and Nana's house. I also remember haircut night at the Johnson's which was always interesting too. Tom had the "butch haircut" down pat.

You are all in my thoughts.

Mark

Tommy, Jeff, Steve, and Charlie,
It broke my heart when I got confirmation that it was "our" Terry! I am so very sorry for your loss. You all are my family as we have a special and unique bond brought to us by Nana. I have such good memories of all of you and Terry that I look back on from time to time and then tuck back into my heart. May God give you the peace to heal and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Love Susan

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My father was married to Terry Lee's mother and for a short period of time we grew up together. In later life, we connected again and I had the honor of meeting his two little sweet daughters. Over the years, we lost touch, but you never forget that cute little blond haired boy that made you laugh.
