Dear Lori & Michael -
I am so very sorry to hear of Terry's passing.
I am sure that he was welcomed into Heaven with the greeting: "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
Terry was always such an upbeat & faithfilled person. He always brought joy into our K2 classroom!
May memories of his wonderfulness bring you both comfort.
Your family will be in my prayers.
With love,
Joan Buckley

Lori, We got your Christmas card and learned of Terry's passing. Our heart breaks for you and Michael. We go back a long time from before Terry met you, when he met and married you and your journey as a couple and parents. You were true witnesses of Christ's love. God Bless! Kathy and Frank Ybarra

I met Terry when I was working as a hospice nurse and Terry was a pharmaceutical rep. He was always professional, personable and a wealth of knowledge. It was clear that he cared about the hospice staff and patients. Do sorry for your loss. Sue Weinhold

Lori, Michael,
Our condolences to you and family. Though we only met him once in person, it's memorable. Also the yearly christmas cards and stories of the family vacations leave good memories of him. Continue to live with the love that Terry left behind.

Lori & Michael - I am so very sorry for the loss of Terry. One of the nicest men on the planet - fun, funny,kind,smart - the list goes one. One of my favorite memories is when he put on a spontaneous magic show at my daughters birthday in the park. It was so lovely! My faith tells me he is in a wonderful place and you have an amazing guardian angel look over you. In my thoughts & prayers - Barbara (Carrera) Holland
