Although it has been years I can still hear your laugh. I always loved that sound and paired with that millon dollar smile you could change my miserable day in a heartbeat and so often did. I will miss you Terry and will never forget the special incredible friend you were.

April 6, 2011

Terry, I will always love and miss you. You were a very special person with a pure heart. I will always remember all of the fun times we had growing up. You could make any situation funny and I’ll miss laughing with you. I wish you knew how much these past few months have meant to me seeing you at Nana’s. I have missed you so much over the years.
Love you always, Celeste

My heart goes out to you during this very difficult time. I know his memory and laughter will find their place in your hearts forever.

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
we would walk right up to heaven,
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
Our hearts will ache with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you, and know you
the world will never know.
But now we know you want us
to mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today.
A hollowed place within our hearts
is where you’ll always stay.
You will never be forgotten Terry you put smiles upon everyones faces
love you always primo your cousin John Gonzalez ,Angel Gonzalez,Brianna Morris, and Oreon Witmer.

I'll always remember you as "Little" Terry, or Terry II. Even though we hadn't seen each other since we were little kids, I thought of you often. You look just like I remember, only older. It's a shame that as family we never really knew each other. Go with God and say hi to my mom and our grandparents. Your cousin,
Heather

I have known Terry for about 22 years. He always made me laugh. I have so many great memories of him. I went though some old photos yesterday & found the one below as well as some from my 16th birthday party. That is how I will remember him.

To Terry's family- I am very sorry for your loss!
