My dear Friend Terry, I was going through some old letters and photos and found letter from you and picture of you and John and I tried to call the phone number I had for you. I guess your number has changed. So I got on google to find your address and found this that you had just lost your husband. I am so very sorry and will be praying that God will fill you with His peace. Please write me again and give me your phone number at 106 Elaine Ave., Taylors, SC 29687. I will never forget the fun we had working at old man Huffmans. Love, your friend always, Brenda Best Arnold

I'm just sad that I live so far away and did not get to see him and all of you more. I love you guys! I'm thinking of you and praying for you. We will see him again one day when we are called home to heaven too. Love, Debbie
