Dear Fitzpatric Family,
Let me begin by expressing my condolences to you on the sudden passing of Terrence. I learned of his passing Monday evening. My heart is saddened. Just recently, I must say, just this past Saturday night, I thought of Terrence while attending a music performance at my son's university. I watched the various musicians playing their instruments throughout the night. At one point during the performance, my mind began to go back several years ago, when Terrence and several of our friends played in the Atlantic City Public Schools band and orchestra. Terrence played a very unique instrument, the french horn. As young musicians we were awed at his mastery of the instrument and how he stood so tall and proudly marched during our band performances in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Niagara Falls, Canada.
I saw Terrence not too long ago and it was a pleasure to be in his company again. We graduated from ACHS in 1977 and I'm sure our precious thoughts and memories of him will live on.
Thea, mother, and all the family, may the Father God comfort you and your family at this time. Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted. (The Gospel of Matthew)
Peace,
Christine (Brown) Young
