Dear Debbie and Family-

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Terry was a kind and caring person always worrying about others. I loved hearing stories about his family-those darling grandchildren and his 2 dogs. I'm really happy that I got to know both of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Debbie: What a shock it was when I received an e-mail today telling us that Terry had passed away! He was such a nice man with a wonderful sense of humor! He was a good friend to John and he was there for me when John passed away. I always enjoyed running into the 2 of you at the grocery store,Terry always had positive things to say! I am blessed to have known Terry! He will be missed! May you find comfort in your memories.

Dear Debbie,

I had the pleasure of visiting with you and Terry in Oct. I have often thought of both of you since then. I always think about Terry's generosity when I look at the Yellow Chiefs hat. It really means a lot to me. God Bless you and your family.

I, too, met Terry through Classmates. Although he wasn't well himself, he was always thinking of others and how they were doing. His heart may not have been well, but it was full of love and laughter. I will miss him. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Terry and I met through Classmates.com in October of 2002. We became close friends. Terry was such a blessing and bright spot in my life. He had the biggest heart of anyone I know. He was such a jokester and kid at heart and loved being around children. He was a wonderful Papa to his grandchildren and has a sweet special nickname for each of them. Terry was my true loyal friend and there will be an big empty spot in my life until we meet again in Heaven. I love you Terry and miss you terribly. Thanks so much for being my friend - M&M
