A golden heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands laid to rest,

Dear Karen, Randy, Kerri and family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies during this trying time. I have so many great memories of hanging out at the house and sometimes even finding some trouble to get in to! Terry was always quite tolerant of our antics and gracious to all who were around him. He will most certainly be missed but will live on in our memories.

We are sorry to hear about the loss of Terry. We missed seeing him at our 50th class reunion of the class of '59 this past summer.
God bless to all.
