I remember Terry and Sandy from years ago. I was the local Avon lady and our kids went to school together. It's been along time since I've seen them because we moved to Thurmont. But I think of them when I hear the name Grable. Prayers for the family.

It is with great sadness we say good bye to Terry. He was a very kind man and always had a smile when greeting everyone. We met him through Lions Club and served with him. We are proud to call him friend. Sandy and family may God comfort you and give you peace now and always.
