Peace be unto you in this time of bereavement. I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. My condolence in the death of Deacon Terrell. I grieve with you. I am sorry that I did not get to know him better. But from the moment I met him, I found him to show nothing but love for his fellow man. But, I also rejoice with you that another soldier has fought a good fight finished the course and has kept the faith and now has retired to the place that God has gone to prepare for him. My prayers are with you. God bless you.

Norman was a very important member of the Full Gospel Businessmen Association. We all valued him as a wonderful brother in Christ. He initiated an action some years ago which was called Youth Game Day -- hundreds of young folks gave their their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ...Our loss is heaven's gain!
