Claudia, Shawn, Aaron & Kevin. I am very sorry for your loss. Terry was one the finest people I have ever worked with. He was a jolly and honest person. That is hard to find anymore. I have many memories of times with Terry. God bless all of you and Joy and my prayers are with you during these difficult times. I am sorry I can't make it up there for the viewing because we have company coming. I'll be thinking of all of you. Kevin used to call me an old geeser and I am now.
