Terry,
I can't believe you are gone. You have been a rock to me these past few years with my mom, Myrna and then again with my sisters passing this past December. We had just texted this past Sunday, on the 16th, with you telling me to do the best I can. I am hoping that you are doing the same. Love you, cousin. Give my best to the family up in Heaven.
