Not sure what to say?

Terry was a great dean at Thornwood, always on top of things. Very supportive of the Saturday detention staff. RIP . May you walk into heaven on the arm of an angel

Our deepest sympathies to all of you. Terry was part of the Clara's family as he stopped in here regularly. We will very much miss Terry and he is in our thoughts and prayers.
