Not sure what to say?

Dear Marcie, I am so sorry to hear about Terry. Really nice to hear you and Terry became one. I know it wasn't long enough but something you finally you will always cherish. I've known Terry many years. Sometimes I would run into at Kroger's and he would always have that big smile. I pray you are doing well. I seen it took him fast. Cancer is heartless. Take care and tell your family I said hello. Love you Marcie. Sharon Hinton

R.I.H Uncle Terry. I'll never forget your voice and laugh.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Many blessings for you and your family always.

My memories could fill a book. We grew up together and you along with David Wayne would instantly become my best friends when our families got together during our parents vacations.

I've been reflecting on our time together in childhood, adolescence, and even remembering our overlapping tours in Vietnam when we wrote to each other. We confided our deepest secrets and greatest desires as well as shared so many special adventures all while growing into men.

One of my greatest joys...

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Terry was a likable, helpful person to work with. Myself and other co-workers remember with fondness his humor. Truly a genuine, honest person. He will be greatly missed.

To the family,you are not alone during this time of sorrow and pain. May God give your family strength and comfort to help you endure this loss. As you remember your beloved one, may the God of peace give you comfort and peace in every way. May you find Strength from the love and care that surrounds you and comfort from the memories that you shared. Please accept my sincere condolences. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
