My deepest condolences to the Ballard family.
Terry was always a pleasant and kind. Before he got sick whenever we saw each other he would always ask about my family especially my older sister Pam, whom he and Martha saw as their sister too. Whenever we departed he would always say see you later. God has another angel with him now, no more pain for Terry.
RIP job well done.

Terry, you will NEVER, NEVER know how much you are already missed, my ONE and ONLY brother. I will be missing all the laughs, arguing, the lies you like to tell me about not eating anything all day. I'm going to miss you telling me that Empire, The Have or Not Haves Nots and of course If Loving you Is Wrong is on tonight. I know your not suffering anymore and you were called HOME to a better place. LOVE YOU FOR LIFE AND MISSING YOU DEARLY. RIP until we meet again. LOVE YOU
