Terry~ You were a very important person in my life. You were my mothers best friend. I remember the first day I met you when you came to visit us and how you were blown away by our field of bluebonnets. You took us out and we all sat down and had a nice dinner and laughed until endless hours in the night. Those few days you stayed here were full of life and laughter like you. The world lost an amazing man, but heaven gained a special angel. I miss you so much and I miss hearing your redneck voice when you would call me just to see what was going on. You will forever be missed but always remembered. My condolences to Billie, Donessa, Ethan and Jeff. My prayers are with you. I love you funny man and will see you again one day!

You both taught me what true love looks like. I felt the love when I saw you both together. I will forever be grateful to the lessons I learned from you both in the midst of life's valleys.

To Terry Don's family: We wish we could be with you today and tomorrow but health and miles prevent it. Though separated by distance, you are in our hearts and we are grieved by Terry Don's death and at the same time, gladdened that he is now free from the limitations and pain caused by the severe injuries of the vehicle accident. I see him, now rejoicing with his loved ones in heaven and know he will always be watching over you and loving you until you come to join him. May God wrap His arms around you and comfort you as only He can do. We love you so much.
