Your husband Tom was one of the strongest supporters to the Army we have ever met. His respect for our country and commitment to our citizens will always be deeply appreciated and recognized. His love for you, Terrie, and your devotion to your husband was witnessed by all and you will remain a "unit" from which we all can learn how to love and how to serve. God bless you and give you peace.

Dear Terrie, Thinking of you my friend and wishing you whatever your heart needs to keep whole during these days.
I have not suffered the loss that you have and I can only hope before I die to have the experience that you shared with your best friend and husband.
I admired you and he so much during your challenge. Your love beyond all others.
I wish you the peace to enjoy your memories.

"Tom was a pillar of PHASE 4 and so very proud of the nearly 20,000 people we have been blessed to help."
Mr. and Mrs. Reed were the parents we never had. The ones who saw our potential and believed in us when everyone else had given up on us. They took us under their wing, rallied for us, supported us even when we were unruly, disrespectful teenagers. And their love for us never faltered. Without Mr. Reed (and Mrs. Reed) a lot of us wouldn´t have made it to see today. Every single person that walked through their doors became one of their family. We are all their children. I owe so much to them that I will never be able to thank them enough for what they did for me. My heart is with you Mrs. Reed and please know that we will never forget what you and Mr. Reed did for us and we are forever grateful.

Terrie, you and Tom were and still are the perfect couple. The love that we all hope to find you two did. Tom told me he had to wait until he was 50 years old to know what love was because you two loved each other like God meant it to be. Hold on to that. He is always with you. Love, Pat.

I am so sorry, Terrie. I have known Tom his whole life and had lots of talks over the years. He loved you more than anything and always talked about how you two were made for each other. Such a good man and we will miss him. Will pray for you and call you.
