Hi Terrie, remembering John and the wonderful person he was. You were blessed to have each other. Barb Carr

Terrie, God just got another angel. You were one to John.

Dearest Terrie,
Im sorry that I have only just caught up with the news of your husbands passing.
I understand exactly how you must be feeling at this moment and want you to know that YES it will eventually get better with time.
Know that you are loved by all the bear community and that we will be thinking of you in the coming months.
With much love Jan New Zealand

Cuzin John,

We've know each other for well over 50 years. Way before u were family. But Colthorpe's are smart, and Terrie was very smart, and the smartest thing she ever did was to love u and become Terrie Stong. So then u were not just the "Big Guy" I could talk to, u were family.

Terrie,

I only met John twice, both occasions associated with Teddy Bear shows. I can remember admiring his bravery and even being a bit jealous!

Love and hugs,

Pat

May God wrap his arms around you and welcome you into heaven. Annie has been waiting for you. It's time for you to be with your daughter! I love you John and I am so happy we had a...
