Today is the day we say see you later Terry. It's not good bye because you will live in our hearts forever. RIP my friend

To the Francis family, my families deepest sympathies to yours. We have been neighbors to Motorpool and Ron's family for lots of years. Whenever Terry was at the shop or working in the lot, he would always stop to chat. And, was always willing to give a helping hand, even if I was taking trash to the curb! Our daughter needed to get a car from California to Omaha and the first person I thought of was Terry to help us out. He took care of it and made it happen on very short notice. He had the car delivered to our driveway! We will miss Terry's smiling face and funny stories. God bless and rest in peace.

Sandy and Ronny,
My sister saw this and thought of you so I am passing it on:

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know

Love to you and your family.

I consider myself blessed to have Terry in my life for all these years. As the father of my adored nephew Kyle, he has welcomed our family as his own and has also been a wonderful Daddy to Kyle and his other children. Uncle Terry, my children know him as. That wasnt just a general title because he is Kyles dad. I consider myself a bourdon on people sometimes, I wouldnt say that in front of Terry. He loved me and my family so much that no matter what problems we brought to him, no matter what we needed, he took it upon himself to help. Cant remember one time that he told me no out of all these years. Always making me feel safe and taken care of , his little sister. His place in my family was an important one, for so many reasons but most important....my nephews dad. I hurt for my nephew and also hurting selfishly for me. Terry, we love you and miss you more than any amount of words will ever express! Our hurt turns in to happiness with the memories of a lot of passed years as a family. We will miss you forever! Sincerely......Tami, Kaleb, Jacob, Dominic Marsolek, and Savannah Bourland. xoxoxoxoxo we will always remember you and always miss you because you are awesome! I truly believe that Terry knows he was a great person and friend, I would put my life on it. That gives me a good feeling to hold on to!
