Oh man words can't even express what I am feeling, I loved Terry so much He was a wonderful man and a great Uncle to my children who are just crushed. Like many, many others we are going to miss him. One thing that gives me comfort is that his mother has been waiting a very long time to hug him again and now he is with all the many others we have all lost. I look forward to that big bright star shinning down on me and the new guardian angle protecting my children. Love you Terry
