My condolences love and prayers to all
Maria and your children and families. Terry gave a very nice presence to you all…seems as though he did to all the world around him. May you have those items in your heart and spirit today and forevermore. I love you Maria, my friend. Very grateful you had / have this gift in your life. The lives of your children. Love to you…. Diana Hilyard.
The day after Terry died, I thought about the amazing reunion that he had w/my late husband, Dave Bennett. I’m sure that Dave, & Helen were thrilled to see him.
Maria, I’m praying regularly for all of you. We love you all so much.
The gleam in Terry’s eyes is so representative of him… Such a friend you both were to us, Maria. Terry always had time for his bud, Ron. They never lacked for a moment in their love of each other. Terry never failed to remember us in prayer during our times of difficulty. I know those two are rejoicing together today in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! May you, Maria, and your family be at total peace with Terry’s passing. May you find comfort in the many memories of the lives you shared together. I love you, and am so sorry for your loss ????? Your sister in Christ, Sandy
