September 17, 2010
Kathy and kids, I am so sorry that you have lost Terry, but he will be in your hearts forever. We tried to get to the funeral, but there was no room and I am not able to stand for a very long period of time. But that in itself is a glorious tribute to both you and Terry, that so many people showed their loyalty to you all. Kathy, if there is anything I can do for you, talk, no matter what time of the day or night, please call your cuz. I think of you all all the time. Much love, Julie

Kathy, Jeff, and Nielsen family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and what you have all had to endure these last few months. We can never know how life's benign moments can change our lives, until they happen.
I always admired the relationships your family had, and the respect you had for each other. Terry was a loving husband, a wonderful father, a loyal friend and a generous spirit. I was lucky to have known him.
He will be greatly missed.

To the Nielsen's, wow I am so sorry for the loss... He was a wonderful husband, father and a friend. I remember when he used to watch me and Jeffrey play on our hot wheels playing chicken in the middle of the road. I didn't know he was sick or hurt until I saw the write up on WTOC and I was devastated and shocked. If there is anything I can do please let me know. Haven't seen you all in a while but that doesn't take away the fond memories of the entire family. He will be greatly missed. Love Bettie Wyly and Cyndie Vaughan (Daughter)

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear about Terry. He was a wonderful person to know and I will miss our conversations. I did not know that he was hurt several months ago and was totaly overcome when I read on the internet of his passing. Both you and Terry have been such close friends as well as great customers. I have always enjoyed talking with you and I will miss that most of all. Kathy, to you and the rest of your family may you take comfort in knowing that Terry was a super individual and he will be greatly missed. Stanley Rosenberg

Dear Nielsen's,
There is nothing I can say that makes this situation any better. Quite simply, we lost one of the good guys. Terry's devotion to his family, his friends, and his community will forever be etched in our hearts. He was always an insightful person that would not hesitate to help anyone out. I really hoped that this unfortunate situation would had turned out better. It makes us feel helpless to the endeavurs of a higher power. I am going to remember the sacrifice Terry gave and the good times that I shared with him. There is a time for grieving, but there is also a time to carry on with Terry in our hearts. He will not be forgotten and has my upmost respect forever. As you know, we are here for you in any manner and will always be. I am deeply sorry for the events that led to his untimely death. I just wish I could do more. Sonya, Alyssa, Kara, Hayley, Taylor, Jenna, and I consider you family and we will be with you to the end. We love you.
