Jeff I'm so sorry you lost your father when he was so young. It's so hard to say goodbye to those who formed and strengthened Us. He will live in your heart and you will learn to talk to him when you're alone in your truck Or on the mountaintops. Hold your fish to the sky for him to see and celebrate the time you had together. My prayers are for all of you and especially your mother Who has lost Her soulmate.

Kay and Jeff, Joan and I are deeply sorry for your loss. It was most obvious that Terry loved you dearly. I learned more of Terry in the last couple weeks of his life than the 25 years prior. He was a wonderful brother-in-law and brother to Joan. Although, during these last few weeks, I became acquainted with a true Christian man whose faith and courage was extraordinary. Terry's love for God, people and family was so inspirational. I became acquainted with a Christian man whose devotion and commitment to God has left me encouraged and challenged. Too often, we settle with learning people only at a distance. Frequently, we realize what we've missed in another after they've left us. This is one of those instances... Terry had so much to offer, I'm only sorry I didn't glean from it sooner. Terry, I'm so grateful for your testimony of faith, Christian witness and the spiritual integrity you exhibited in your final moments. My life has forever been changed. Kay, our prayers are with you and Jeff. Might God comfort and strengthen you in this difficult time. We love you!
