ONE YEAR AGO MY BROTHER LEFT US AND IT IS STILL QUITE PAINFUL. WHEN PEOPLE YOU REALLY ENJOY HAVING AROUND LEAVE, IT MAKES YOU WISH YOU COULD GO TO HEAVEN THE VERY NEXT DAY BECAUSE YOU CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN. HE IS GONE BUT HE IS NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
I LOVE YOU, TERRY, AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH!

I miss my brother so much. We only had a few years to know one another, but I am so thankful for God giving us a chance to meet. It was a great feeling to find out that I had a big brother. He was and always be one of the greatest gifts God has ever given to me.

Terry Lynn, you will be missed so much. It is so hard to believe that you are not here. My heart hurts so bad, not just for me, but for our whole family, especially, your children,Aunt Dorothy, L.B., and Brandi. Words really cannot express the pain that I feel by your passing, but with the help of the Lord, I know that He will see me and the family through. We had a lot of happy and funny times;You, me, L.B.,Money, Della,and Brandi that's what's going to keep me in high spirits, the MEMORIES. You will always be in my heart. Until I see you again, R.I.P. and LOVE you forever.....

Dear Terry,

While moving on Saturday some pictures fell out of a bag to the floor and the pictures were of you and your family. I guess it was a way of saying "goodbye to me".

Sorry, you and I didn't get a chance to meet, but I will always cherish your letters and your pictures of you and your family.

Peace to my niece Jackie, my brother Harry, your mother Dorothy and to the rest of The Anderson and Scott Families.

Peace and Blessings to All,

Aunt Loretta

Our condolences go out to the entire family in your time of bereavement, God be with you and all the family in your time of need.

If we are fortunate,
we are given a warning.

If not,
there is only the sudden horror,
the wrench of being torn apart;
of being reminded
that nothing is permanent,
not even the ones we love,
the ones our lives revolve around.

Life is a fragile affair.
We are all dancing
on the edge of a precipice,
a dizzying cliff so high
we can't see the bottom.

One by one,
we lose those we love most
into the dark ravine.

So we must cherish them
without reservation.
Now.
Today.
This minute.
We will lose them
or they will lose us
someday.
This is certain.
There is no time for bickering.
And their loss
will leave a great pit in our hearts;
a pit we struggle to avoid
during the day
and fall into at night.

Some,
unable to accept this loss,
unable to determine
the worth of life without them,
jump into that black pit
spiritually or physically,
hoping to find them there.

And some survive
the shock,
the denial,
the horror,
the bargaining,
the barren, empty aching,
the unanswered prayers,
the sleepless nights
when their breath is crushed
under the weight of silence
and all that it means.

Somehow, some survive all that and,
like a flower opening after a storm,
they slowly begin to remember
the one they lost
in a different way...

The laughter,
the irrepressible spirit,
the generous heart,
the way their smile made them feel,
the encouragement they gave
even as their own dreams were dying.

And in time, they fill the pit
with other memories
the only memories that really matter.

We will still cry.
We will always cry.
But with loving reflection
more than hopeless longing.

And that is how we survive.
That is how the story should end.
That is how they would want it to be.

Trenton and Cherrysh Anderson
