Our hearts break at the loss of such a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather, brother, son. He was truly a light in this often dark world, aglow with the love of God and joy of Jesus. He will be greatly missed, but we remember that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Dear Marci, Lisa, and Jan
WE were so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband and father. I will always remember Terry in Sunday School with his deep interest in spiritual topics of scripture. He truly loved God, and is enjoying Jesus and the Father face to face now in Heaven. And if there is a library of wisdom he is spending a lot of time there too!
Love and blessings
The Christensen family,Mary, Chris, David, and Laura
