Greg and Barb,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Terry. He was a great friend during our school years. I have many great memories of Terry and our times together. He was known to us as "Sweet T" on the basketball court.

Dear Richard, Gregory, and Barbara,

I am very sorry for your loss. I have many, many fond memories with Terry. Whenever I take my son Evan down Chichester Avenue's memory lane, I 'm always quick to point out to him, this is my friend Terry's home, and that Terry is someone I essentially shared my entire childhood with. I tell Evan of the time I'd broken my foot while lifting weights in Terry's bedroom, and I relive Terry and Warren untangling my leg from a barbed-wire fence, then they proceeded to carry me the 25, I mean, the quarter mile to my home. Well, there are many, many more memories, maybe not as tragic as these, though now they don't seem so tragic.... In retrospect, perhaps the fondest memories are those of the many summers' Sunday School, where I first heard the true gospel of salvation; God rest your mother's soul; and God bless Terry.

Sincerely,
