Terry has been such a very special
Step-Uncle to me. My father loved him and his mother Georgia. I attended his marriage to Rita Sandefur at Baskett Christian Church when I was 10 years old. I have loved Terry, Rita and their children my whole life. They spent every Christmas Eve at my parents house. Terry was a special blessing to me when my parents needed help, which Terry was always willing to provide so
I could provide caregivers for them while I worked. I will always love him and his family. God bless you all during this most difficult time.
