Terry Thurnau

Dear Wendy & Family,
Although I didn't know Terry well, I admire his enormous courage and dignity to fight this horrific illness. I hope you will all cherish loving memories together. We must push for more research and funding to help eliminate ALS forever.
With Love,

Wendy: Our hearts are with you and your family. Terry was always such a warm person and such a wonderful husband and father. The last time we saw him was at your parents' home a few years ago. Although he was not well, he made the effort to come see us. We had some laughs. We admire how hard he fought his illness, with so few complaints.
We send our love.

He warmed our hearts in different ways. He served in the Marine Corps. Part of him will always live in us. I love you, Papa Thurnau.

Terry and Wendy, you know that Dwight and I loved you both the first time we met you. We love you even more for loving our son, Ricci, and allowing him to marry your little girl. We pray for peace for Terry and healing for your whole family. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but such a blessing when you know they will suffer no more. Terry fought the battle and gave ALS a run for its money. Good job Terry! We love you all!

Terry, I can't thank you enough for loving Jennifer like I love her, You are a true hero in my heart. It takes a real man to love his family and dedicate so much of his life to them and always put them before yourself. You excepted me into your family and treated me like one of them. You were always there for us during the good times and the bad times and never gave up on us. If I can become half the man you were I will conceder myself successful. I love you and will always miss you. I am...

Wendy, Terry was a really special person. I'll always remember him sitting comfortably in a ratan chair in your dining room nook shooting the breeze with Glen and the rest of us as we sat around your kitchen counter on bar stools, all feeding our faces, laughing and having a great time. It is my prayer that you can take comfort in happy memories. Please let me know what I can do to help. I am praying for you and your family.

Wendy, you know how much you and Terry meant to me, I've alway admired you two, for the love you had for eachother, and your kids. Terry was great guy, man he could make and engine sing. I'll miss him. A friend alway, Bob (Puyallup)

Wendy I am at a total loss for the words to express how much I will miss him and the brief times that Terry and I had to swap stories, but the laughter I will always cherish along with your friendship. You both were and shall always be loved because we were friends and that is what matters most in life next to family.

Wendy, you know how special you are to everyone in Denver. Please know you are in our prayers. I am truly sorry for your loss.
