To Sandy and the remaining Eakle family. I am so sorry for your loss. I am also sorry that I wasn't able to attend Terry's services. I held Chuck's services and attended the memorial services for Jack. Terry meant a lot to me but I was just unable to attend. Thoughts and prayers will always be with you. He is in a better place, one free of worry and pain. Cheryl Eakle Thompson
