Hey Grandson, I remember this day that you changed and moved to your new location. You've been a lifer of Heaven since 2008 and surely have made your place their. I trust that you're positioned in the areas of your love regarding cooking and playing music and more. Head Chief and Minister of Music comes to mind. I know that this is a great day of rejoicing within the pearly gates. Enjoy the rest of your day while we celebrate you here. Grandpa loves You! Oh, Nana says hello and much love sent as well.

Terrell you were probably one of the greatest friends i've had. Countless people go by in life and you were probably the best one to know. I still remember the time you got grounded by your dad and just walked in my house without anyone knowing just to play on the ps2 haha. I still wear the necklace i have of you but its starting to fade. I just wish i was able to experience life with you and everybody else. Sometimes i just think about it too hard and feel disconnected from everything but as long as i take i moment to clear my mind i know that you're okay and so am i. I'm glad you're were one of the kids on the block i got to call friend and i i'm glad we'll all get to see you eventually. -D
Grandpa Loves You!

Another day has gone by and your presence has escaped me. The comfort that I feels is new your have change your address to your new location, "Heaven". You've obtained your wings as one of the angels in God's Army. I love you and trust that when it's my time to change address that we will be neighbor. While you're above and looking down on me, know that Grandpa continues to repent of his sins and claims the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and salvation to further his strive to be with you.

I think about you everyday little brother (Well you're not so little anymore haha), you're always on my mind in my head, it's almost like you're apart of my consciousness at this point. I always imagine what things would be like if you were right now. How cool it would be to have a brother who's finally an adult with me by my side, what sport you would be going to college for, where you would be going to college. I always I feel a little robbed of this experience and how much I really wish you were here. But I know you're always watching over me, indirectly guiding, loving, and helping me. I always had this idea that you put in a word with God for me because your his best chef and that's how a lot of the things that happened to me, happened. Well, I'm checking out I always talk to you in my head or out loud anyways.
Love & miss you always,
Your Big Brother~

Good morning Terrell. I woke up this morning with you on my mind and my thoughts of you brought great smiles. Know that you're missed and loved each day. I know today is a great day for you and other Family Memebers that are with you. I envision you, Little Mama, Papa Charile, Mimi and others having a Family Reunion at your new location. I see you all praising the Father and lifting him up, while sitting on the side of him as he has directed, enjoying sweet conversations and alike. May God continue to gather us all at the same place, Heaven, and I trust he shall. I will see you in alittle while so look for me. I look forward to a big hugg from you. Love You Grandpa

School has started. Three weeks in, and I can't help but to think you would be in the 5th grade. You and Lailah together making an impact, now that Lil T is in Jr High. How tall would you be? What would be your favorite subject? How would your voice sound? I can still smell you. Every year, every holiday, every special occasion is not complete with out you. Life is what it IS, but it is not what it COULD be. I can see your children running and playing. I can hear their laughter, so I can see you as a beautiful handsome man. Quiet but authoritative, delicate yet powerful. And with every breath that I take, every blink of my eye, I miss you. I MISS YOU...

I visited the tree today. Thought of that big smile of yours as I tied 2 roses to it this morning. I was thinking, maybe I should be hanging big smiley faces to it, cause that was who you were. I don't think I ever saw you without that smile. :)

The night they "pronounced" you
I lost who I was
I knew it
before it was said
I knew that
mentally
you were dead
How do you say goodbye
to a part of you
someone you nursed
from your breast
you want them to stay
but in peace
you want them to rest
Some days the tears pour
others I smile for you
but from Sunday
to Saturday I mourn
I do celebrate
the love you gave
but when I am awake
my heart is torn

I had three in the back
Just yesterday
I could hear you laugh
Just yesterday
I watched you make a shot
Just yesterday
you kicked a goal
Just yesterday
I had to break up an argument
Just yesterday
you where a little brother
Just yesterday
I kissed away the tears
Just yesterday
we hugged goodnight
Just yesterday
we kissed good morning
Just yesterday
I walked you to kindergarten
Just yesterday
you became a big brother
Just yesterday
I watched your first step
Just yesterday
I heard your first word
Just yesterday
I carried you in my arms
Just yesterday
I nursed you at my breast
Just yesterday
I sang to you in my belly
Just yesterday
you were a prayer in my heart
Today
all I have is the beginning of what you are
Today
I have a prayer in my heart named Terrell

Hi baby,
I was sitting here thinking how much fun you must be having now that you have a new friend to play with. I can see you and Micheal (Jackson) singing kareoke ( I know I spelled that so wrong but you know I can't spell worth nothing!). Sing "Beat It" to him, LOL! Man oh man what fun you must be having. I miss you more each second, but that's my issue to deal with. Keep cooking, singing, and dancing. :-)

Hey Relly,
I know I usually don't leave you messages, but you know you're always on my mind, and always in my heart. You always kept me calm, and taught me so much about patience. :o) I hope that I'm making you proud, you inspire me to be the best dad I can be, best husband I can be, and the best man I can be. When we went to see the fireworks last night, we saw a happy-face firework design, and we all knew it was yours. We all miss you so much, but every time we speak your name, it is with happiness, not tears, because we still feel the power of your spirit, keeping us calm, and smiling.
Love, Dad

When the wind blows
It's you fluttering your wings
When a raindrop lands on my cheek
I feel you giving me a tender kiss
When I smile at nothing at all
That's you whispering a joke in my ear
I see you in all the good around me
I feel you when the pain begins to be to much
The sun shines and I know you are smiling
When the clouds come I image you resting
I see you in all that is good with the world
Thankfully, I see you in me

I heard him call my name. The way he always does. Continuous. "Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom". Never a pause. As if to say, I want you, no, need you to come and check on me. Always got me mad. How he would never give me a chance to answer. Never give enough space in between two moms so I could say "Yes, Terrell"? So I would get up, all hot and bothered, and go see what the life ending problem was. Usually he wanted his closet light left on. Or he couldn't find his remote.
Last night I heard him calling my name. That continuous song he sang just for me. Only there was no one to go to. I knew he was gone, yet you cannot tell me I did not hear him calling. He WAS calling my name. Only this time there was no light to be left on. No TV to turn off. No remote to find. There was no one.
The last night we spoke. I went to his room and asked if he was OK. Asked if he was alright, if he needed or wanted anything. He said no, he was fine. I told hin good night and that I loved him.
Do you think he knew he was headed home? Did he not want to break my heart right at that moment? Wanted to remember me as his smiling, caring mother. Did he want to send me to sleep with a peaceful heart?
He called my name as if he still needs me. I know he doesn't, for he is in our Father's hands, but how else is a mother to think. I know that he, for once, is really taking care of me...

I sit and watch
as they run
and yell
laugh
and play
and then I think
you should be here
or maybe you shouldn't
I just want you here
You never did like to sweat though
work hard or even play hard
you were a "in the house"
type of kid
But you sure would hop on that bike
and chase behind your brother
and your friends
Always was the last one
walking slow, bringing up the rear
LOL
But if no one was last
who would have everyone's back?
And that was just who you were
always sticking up for everybody
Now you watch over us all
I still think you should be here
I mean, I really want you here
want to see how you would play now
how you would laugh
if you would finally run hard
play hard
and once in a while win a race
But now
you have the perfect playground
You will never skin your knee
fall off your bike
get mad when you come in last
or pee on yourself right in front of the door!
You should be there
I want you there
You were always meant for Heaven

Hi Terrance and Laminta,
I celebrate Terrell's life with you today knowing that though we miss him, he is enjoying heaven in the presence of Jesus. I walk into the Robey gym every Sunday and see the sign that says "Gladney Arena" and remember Terrell. I pray God is blessing your lives with new meaning and blessings as you continue to grow together.

When Terrell was just a baby, Marla brought him to visit me and Mom (Mimi) at mom's house which was on a hill surrounded by trees.
Terrell was in his baby carrier and Marla sat it down beneath a really large tree... and Terrell was mesmerized. He stared at the leaves for so long we stopped talking and watched him.
Mom said "look at that baby, he acts like he's never seen a tree before." Everyone laughed and Terrell smiled and kept watching the tree. :)

March 11, 2009
I will never forget my Mom (Aunt Lillian)telling Terrell she couldn't find the remote to the TV while they were watching it and wanted to turn it off. She asked him to please help her look for it. He walked over to the set and with his point finger flicked it off and laughed. My Mom said well I guess that solves that!. He was 3 or 4 at the time but she still talks about the incident and often says how it funny was. He was truly a sweet child and will be always remembered our hearts.

Grandson,
As I sit here with tears in my eyes, I think of your smiles coming from the sky. I just took a moment to get myself together while asking the question, "why , why, why" and I still cry. It seems you were with me a short while but you gave me many smiles. Now that you're home with the Father, I expect many, many more smile for quite awhile. Just remember me, "Grandpa" looking for a smile.
Love Ya!

Jo and I think of Terrell often. She sometimes mentions him out of the blue. She told me one morning during breakfast that Terrell's mom must miss him very much.

Something for the Family, especially Terrence, Minta, Pooh, and Lailah:
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me
Granna Gladney
March 10, 2009

Dear Gladney Family,
My name is Lyndi Peterson. Last year I worked as a first grade teacher at Barbara Robey and this year I work in the reading room as a reading specialist. Although I did not know Terrell well, I remember his beauty and kindness...but most of all his smile. I have wanted to share a story with you all, but I have never felt like it was the right time until now. It is a story that is dear to my heart, and it has changed the person that I am today. On the day of Terrell's passing my husband and I learned that we were going to have a baby. We had been trying for many months to have a baby with no luck, and we were both beginning to lose hope. I remember praying each day that God would bless us with a baby, but I never knew when it would be. On that day filled with so much sadness, I felt a sense of peace and calmness, and I believe in my heart that it was Terrell who was watching over our family from heaven. We found out months later that we were having a boy, which I had felt in my heart all along. I know that there will never be a way to replace Terrell, but I believe that he is my son's guardian angel. It is my hope that I can raise him to be a boy with Terrell's character and grace. My son Landyn has a smile that can light up a room, and whenever I see it, my mind often drifts back to Terrell. Your family has always been and will always be in my thoughts and prayers, and I am so thankful to you all for your angel and the way that he has blessed my life.

Hi Baby,
I thought of you today, of course. As I do everyday. Remember the day you came into this world. With a splash, lol (inside joke). You were my special child. The one who never did anything according to how everyone else wanted you to. Always did it in your own time. Guess that's why you decided to take that extra time in the hospital. I thought those would be my hardest days in life. Once again you proved me wrong. Always did have to be right didn't you. Or at least you always thought you where right, about everything. Especially when it came to Lailah. Because Terrence could do no wrong in your eyes. He was blessed to have a little brother like you looking up to him. Just like you had Lailah. She points you out among the stars, says you must be the brightest star because you had the brightest smile. And she picks the fluffiest clouds and claims them as your pillow!! Oh to see you through her eyes...!!
I didn't mean to get long winded or tell your life story. I know you hated it when I would go on and on. I just wanted to tell my baby hi. I just wanted to tell you that I love you so very much. I pray that you know that. That you knew that, that you felt that every second you were on this earth. And I am sorry for crying so much. I know you never liked it when I cried. Just want to hold you baby. At least one more time you know. At least a million more times.
So here I am about to tell you to be good for God! LOL, always a mother no matter where your children are. I love you Relly and I miss you like words will never be able to tell.
Love you so... Mom

My Dearest Grandson:
Today is a day especially filled with memories of you...Granna thought it would be just a little easier but I still miss you so very, very much. I miss you beautiful smile that always lit up a room and your sweet kindness that you always portrayed...I only find comfort knowing you are in a better place and taking care of your Mimi and all the other little angels of God!
I LOVE YOU TERRELL!!!!!!!!!!

They say it gets easier, I am still searching for the easiness of it all. I guess the only easy thing is that I have stopped waking up expecting you to be there. I just haven't quite figured out how to live and enjoy life without you... Love you more than words can say and more than notes can play.

Laminta, Terrance, Terrance Jr, and Lailah,
I just heard of Terrell's passing today and wanted to express how sad I am at this news. My son, Drew, went to preschool with Terrel in Mrs. Trammell's class. They enjoyed playing together after class in the front of the school. I always thought Terrell was a wonderful boy - that sheepish, shy grin would just melt my heart. So polite, kind, and sweet.
My thoughts are with your family, today and always. Thank you for sharing your beautiful son with us.

Hi Baby,
Not a day goes by that I don't see your smiling face...I was thinking about you so hard today I thought I heard your voice saying "what Granna" (smile). I love you and miss you so much baby! Are you taking good care of Mimi?

GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN AND FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE.
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON HIS EARTH AND SAW YOUR LOVING FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST. HIS GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL, HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST.
HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE SUFFERING, HE KNEW YOU WERE IN PAIN. HE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER GET WELL ON EARTH AGAIN.
HE SAW YOUR PATH WAS DIFFICULT,
HE CLOSED YOUR TIRED EYES, HE WHISPERED TO YOU” PEACE BE THINE” AND GAVE YOU "ANGEL" WINGS TO FLY.
WHEN WE SAW YOU SLEEPING
SO CALM AND FREE OF PAIN,
WE WOULD NOT WISH YOU BACK TO EARTH TO SUFFER ONCE AGAIN
YOU’VE LEFT US PRECIOUS MEMORIES, YOUR LOVE WILL BE OUR GUIDE, YOU WILL LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS, YOU’RE ALWAYS BY OUR SIDE.
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU, BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE.
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
ON THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME.

Well Little man what can I say, Not you aunt by blood but you were still family. Although our paths crossed few times you were in my heart. I am so sorry that we didn't get to spend more times and that your cousins never knew you. But we will always keep you with us.
I think about you everyday and smile when I look at your pictures. Your Mommy misses you terribly. Gone but never forgotten... Say hello to MarQuan for me. Love you

Hi Relly!! You ran across my mind yet again today. I think about your face, your fingers, your smell, your smile, and your love all the time. I miss you tremendously! Oh, I thought you should know that your cousin Yahsi has been all up in the kitchen more than ever before after seeing your chef debut on here. She said she wish she could see you today. Auntie loves you and misses your sweet hugs baby.

We were so saddened to hear of Terrell's passing. We had the pleasure of knowing Terrell and watching him play outside with Peter and other kids on the block when we lived across the street from you all. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time-we hope that knowing your sweet Terrell is in a happy place with beautiful wings brings you some comfort.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the entire family. We had the opportunity to meet Terrell while living in the Phoenix area. Terrell, Terrence and Melik played together. We were blessed by Terrell's smile and kind spirit.
