January 12, 2020 at 3:38 amThank you Terry,
You led the way in our family… showing all of us that love should be given freely. That respect is always appreciated and that giving comes first. Even if there is little to give. There is always someone less fortunate and you got that.
I will remember your strength, your courage and your kindness. And I will miss everything else about you too.
Our Rocket will always know his YaYa… I promise you that. Our camping trips, our visits, our holidays together or our “Just Because” visits that we had most often. He will be reminded of those times for the rest of his life.
I miss you already Terry and I pray I never forget you…
THE MOST.
I love you Terry â¤ï¸
