Thinking of Terry and offering his family loving thoughts. I knew Terry throughout high school, while his family business was near 86th and Parallel and my home place is on 86th Street. He provided the floral arrangements for my wedding over 47 years ago. He remains in our thoughts.

Terry was a good friend in school. His cheerful, positive outlook and his willingness to go out of his way for anyone at anytime stood the test of time. He will always be remembered with great fondness.

As a former resident of White Church, I was sorry to learn of Terry's passing. My mother worked for the Eidson family and I and several siblings attended White Church Elementary and Washington High with Terry. After I left Kansas City, I did not hesitate to call Eidson's Florists and speak with Terry when I needed floral arrangements for a funeral or special occasion. I offer my deepest sympathy to his family.
