Dearest aunt Lynn, I can not say anything that will make things better for you or the girls but wanted you to know that Karen and I are in prayer for you all. I can not tell you what Guy meant to me, he always treated me growing up with love and kindness and always had such a light hearted look at life. When I stayed with you during my service time their Guy told me how proud he was of me serving my country, that coming from him meant worlds to me. I know that we did not stay in touch and for that I feel I owe you an apology, I loved Guy but sure did not show it by not dropping a line or making a call. I want you to know that I love you and my heart is with you always, share my love to the girls as well and may the Lord calm your heart and loss. God Bless you all, your nephew Terry.
