Sally & Family;

Shawne & I are heartfelt about Terry's passing..

We know your pain and only hope that each passing day you will gather strength.

Terry was a fun guy to be around!
Shawne and I enjoyed his company when we were in it. We will always remember the boat ride and the fun we had. We thought you both quite generous and entertaining! ;-)

Sally, I only pray that you find peace! That you find a faith that will allow you to heal.

Maybe we cannot escape from the destiny of the human, but we have a choice: to suffer our destiny or to enjoy our destiny. To suffer, or to love and be happy. To live in hell, or to live in heaven. My choice is to live in heaven. What is yours?
Be well Sally seek peace! I have faith in YOU! ;-)

Sincerely,
JoAnn Donahue
