Terry, We had some terrific memories starting back in dear ol' Silas Willard & finsihing up in GHS. Back then could we have thought you would have a "bad" ending to your life story? Since we experienced more of life we realize what can happen. Yes, we do want the happy ending, the good things in life, & numerous aspecits of life that may be considered positive. We can ask ourselves, "Why me?" As we become wiser we maly will ask, "Why not me?" We're born, we live, & we have a physical deah.
I will always remember you, Terry.

I did not know Terry very well but we happened to cross paths last summer at his Aunts house and the more we talked I just had to ask when he graduated from GHS. And then the conversation got interesting. My heart goes out to his lovely wife and Aunt which I met at that time. Was planning on getting off a card when I heard of his illness but was a little late.
