Terry I have so many wonderful memories of you, my one an only true loving brother, I remember us growing up, and even though you were my little brother, you were more like my big brother. Always there for me, with no judgements or conditions on your love. Even as we got older you were always a positive outlook on my life. You shared so much of your love to my three children, godfaher to my son, and special Uncle to my two girls. Even if we didn't see one another, I always knew you were not far away. When you married Mila, and brought her two children into my life, they were so much a part of me and you, then you and Mila were blessed with a son, Marc and what a good father you were to your own three children. My son, Billy has so many memories of you, playing with Micheal and him, throwing the kids in the pool, and walking him out onto the football field on father/son day. I could go on forever, but there is just one thing that is so important to me, our love and closeness, as brother, sister, and friend. You will always be in my heart,love and thoughts, and Mila, and your children and grandchildren will be a part of my life and I will always love them. I know now you are in heaven, with no pain, and can see again, no cane and no brace, and you are taking care of all the children that left this earth too soon, because you loved children so much. I will always love you and miss you, so until we meet again remember that. Love always your sister, Betty

It has been many years.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Your light is shining down
Your voice echoes a heavenly sound
I know your never far
Because your always in my heart.
Your also in the wind,
In sunsets, in a gleeful grin
Your spirit was so strong
But your body could only hold on for so long
Even though your in heaven now
I feel your still here somehow
We will all miss you
We'll miss your smile,
I might even shed a tear once in a while.
Just know this Pop-Pop,
Everyone loves you
And that love will never stop.

Mila, Laura, Michael and Marc, A good part of my teen years were spent with you all. I loved Terry like my own dad. He could be rough and scary, and then smile and be so sweet. It has been a long journey for you all and I know that he is now resting peacefully. I love you all and anything I can do, please let me know. Denise(Worley)Sanderlin

The key to immortality is living a life worth remembering. I will never forget the times we shared together. Terry was to me a loving father, true friend, and hero. Dad you will live on in my memories.
