I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Terry Fratilla. I knew Terry back in the 60's when we were teenagers. I thought back then that he was so cute. He was my first boyfriend back then when we lived in the South end. When I read the paper, I was shocked to know that he had passed. I have not been in contact with any friends from back then but I want to extend my sincere condolences to you, his daughters and sisters.

How little, and how short a time we knew you, Terry. You're in your Higher Power's care now. God bless you, and watch over the loved ones you've left behind. Whenever I wear the bracelet you gave me, I'll think of you for sure.

I can't believe the Good Lord has taken you from us already, but evidently He believes you served your purpose here on this earth. I feel honored that I had the opportunity to get to know you, and call you my friend, Terry. You have helped me more than you'll ever know...well, until we meet again anyway. You will be missed by your other family! We love you! My prayers will be with your family, who I know you love very much!

To Terry's family-you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember Terry's smile and warm hugs. He always had a kind word to say no matter how he felt. And, of course, he'd always ask "Staying out of trouble kid?" In knowing Terry, I've been touched by someone who cares-a favorite expression of his. Much love Terry and you are missed. See you again at the big meeting in the sky. Save me a seat my friend.
