To Twig's Family - My condolences. My father played many dance jobs with Twig and I have good memories of them making music together. Twig's toast at my wedding and many other weddings "May you live as long as you want to and want to as long as you live" was great advice. Here's to you Twig!

We have very fond memories of many Christmas Eve visits from Santa! The kids always looked forward to Santa stopping in singing, ringing the bells, sitting on his lap and asking for their wish lists! He was a great friend to our parents and will never be forgotten! RIP Twig!

I have fond memories visiting the Terwilligers, the home of my college roommate Marilyn. Mr. Terwilliger was very humorous and we had fun listening to the Twig Terwilliger Trio. So sorry for your loss.
