Terry to me will always be Dad. He always gave his love to me and the whole family. He shared his laughter in good times and his strength when times seemed difficult. He guided me through my younger years to help make me the person I am today. I pray he is in a place where his wonderful ways are still being shared with others. I will always carry the precious memories I shared with him in my heart. He will always be my Dad. Although, my path took me to other places over the years I never forgot what a real family means because of what Dad gave me through his loving ways. I learned his values and treasured each he had taught me. I believe because of Dad and Mom I learned to be a better person.
I learned sharing kindness with others is a very important act. Along, with providing unconditional, love to the children in my life. That family is much more than a word. Family are the ones I love and the ones who gave love to me. Family is the foundation of who we are. I have been blessed to be part of the family who always loved each other. A family, where no matter how much time may have passed there is still love for one another. I know Dad is proud of each of his children and grandchildren. I know he watching over all of us. He will remain in each our hearts. I love you
always Dad.
