Terry was an amazing man with an amazing heart. We were only in each others lives for 7 years but since day 1 he treated me like family. He will be deeply missed.

Just saw the obituary of Terry Anes. His father was the youngest brother of my Grandmother Mamie Anes Gonder. Although I never knew Terry or his family. I see the Anes line look of Terry. Sorry for your loss of a family member. God Speed. RIP
