Cousin Johnny you were and are the best of the best . Husband father grandfather brother a friend to all . I will miss you . Talking on the phone checking on you all the time and when I would see you we had alot of great times . I just can't believe you are gone but God knows best . Looking at that picture and that smile it was like I could talk to you . You always had help for any of us or good advice just as your sons would do . You did an awesome job but it was time for you to return home to Jesus . When we talked we would always end saying Love you cousin or we would hug if we saw each. Love you cousin .

Terrell Family,
Mr. Johnny, your Mom , their love and selfless dedication to God, family, and education resulted in a family that will change the world. The power, love, and impact of a Terrell is immeasurable and cannot be denied. This is heartbreaking and our prayers are with the Terrell Nation. The intensity of your love usually matches the intensity of your grief and pain. You will live his example and keep his memory alive and he is home with his maker in a place he earned through works that spanned a lifetime. Love, Becky

Johnny,
No! This is not a dear John letter though my heart is absolutely broken. You were among the first family members I met when Donald and I reunited. I remember coming to Pace Rd. to finally meet Carol and other members of the family. You and Carol were so welcoming. Through the years you and I always talked about our passion; flowers and what we were planting. Well, my dear cousin you are now resting in an eternal flower garden; and every time I see pansies in the Fall I will always think of you. Rest in Peace outlaw; rest in God's eternal peace. I will miss you!
