Donna, Terry, and Tera ,
Know that our hearts and prayers are with you.
Terry is not gone, he is just away. He has graduated to a special place. What a most kindhearted, special, and precious son he is. A heart of gold. Cared more for others than he did himself, always. He's just resting for a while. He surely rode out of here in the arms of his own very special angel. Now there's a new special angel up there tonight.
We are proud to have known him. May God give you peace and comfort as only he can.
Terry will always be precious and be missed.
We will never forget him.
God be with you and Bless you all.
Love and Prayers

Donna, Terry, Tera, Ty, and the rest of the Wilkes family, I am so sorry for your loss. Terry Neal was very special to me and I will miss him dearly. We spent many hours together back in the day at the sub-station and hanging out...I will miss his genuine hugs that he gave when he hadn't seen you in awhile and how he would always whisper something in your ear during that embrace. Words will never completely express what a special person Terry Neal was. May he rest in peace. May God be with you in your time of sorrow I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you guys....
