Mel and family! I am just now (Feb. 2021) learning of the Drago Man, his house, gun shop and lifestyle and also learning of the giant void in his life with the loss of Terry. I hope 8 years isn't too long to offer my condolences and prayers. The loss of a spouse, after so many years together, leaves a void in your life and in your heart that can never be filled. My wife, Barbara, and I was in South Dakota and Montana in 2004 on our motorcycles with a group from Maryland. If I had known about Dragonland then, I certainly would have visited you. May angels lead Terry into paradise and may she Rest In Peace. Condolences and prayers to you Mr. Bernstein, keep up the good work but at the end of the day always wish Terry goodnight". Tom & Barbara

A beautiful verse to your family...
"Families Are Like Quilts
Lives pieced together
Stitched with smiles and tears
Colored with memories . .
and bound by Love"
These words brought comfort to me through my tears. I wish you the Lord's peace and comfort...
