Memories and Condolences
for Terence Canedo
August 7, 2010
KC-Such a tough day for the Canedo family;
thank you so much for allowing me to share time with you, with your family, with your loved ones.
There no words to soften the blow of Tops leaving;
please know that my heart cries for all of you.
I'm sure that you will never allow the memory of Tops to slip from your heart;
and I'm sure that, for a time, that memory will be mostly the heartache and despair of the past week.
Over time I would hope that you will be able to allow the fond memories to shoulder aside the sorrow;
and provide for you ... a sense of balance.
Perhaps the time will come that you will shed tears of happiness;
to wash away the tears of sadness.
God bless all of you...Take care pal.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Canedo family. - Jody
I know Tops is looking down at us all, making sure we're safe. He was a good person, and he is a person we will always keep within our hearts. And whenever I see a rainbow or a sudden blast of colorful sunshine, or snow falling down from the heavens, I'll smile, and remember him. - Kelsey Canedo

For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away Skyline Pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind

I had the pleasure of working with Terence the last 4 yrs as a fellow installer. My heart goes out to his family during this time of loss. I will never forget the memories and times we shared. His soul has definitely made a lasting impression on all of us!

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Written by Mary Frye
We all know that Tops' soul is with our merciful Lord. I am so sorry for your loss Ken, you and all your family are in my prayers.
God is Good-All the Time. Betty

I remember the pyro days when Tops went wild with the fireworks. One landed on a boat and we had to run on the sand as fast as we could to make sure there was no fire. Then we ran all the way back to the car and jumped in and made a quick escape--laughing the whole time.

"Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you"
