I knew Terry in grade school at Immaculate Heart of Mary and then at Cathedral. Even then, Terry was on his way to becoming a successful, popular and focused man.

Sorry to hear of Mr. Donovan's passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
