I had no idea that my second cousin had passed away. Unfortunately, through the years we lost contact only after Terry helped contract two houses to be built for us .
I will always cherish the memories of family in Happy Valley , Cades Cove .
And the time we spent together with family.
Terry loved my red hair and would get chuckles about our Great Uncle George along with others having the same hair ..
