Terry always had a smile on his face and made it hard for you not to smile back regardless of how you were feeling. He was a wonderful and loving "Papa T" to all the grandkids. I know Jaxson and Ryker will miss his visits. Know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers and are here for you if we can help in any way.
Love,
Roger and Brandy Hilburn
