Terry, I thought of you like a dad because you were always there for us (Janet, Terri, me, and lots of our boyfriends) in our teenage years and well beyond. You were always supportive, even when we did not listen to your wisdom. You offered discipline without judgement, support without expectations, and a true since of reality to all of us. Thank you for the years you gave us to share our lives with you.
Love, Rita

Dear Mr. Speights:
I am sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I've known Janet for years and she always spoke so highly of you and I knew you all had such a close relationship. She's a strong lady and will miss you. I'm so glad you're in a safe place now looking over all of your family and being their guardian angel. God Bless You!
Zee and Al Toledo
