I am sorry to hear of Terrys passing. I have known him since I was five. We had a lot of laughs in school. Last time I saw him was 1983. Fifteen year class reunion. God Bless Your Family.

Hi Colleen,

We are in Europe from October 17-31. We were shocked and saddened to get home and learn of Terry's passing. We are so sorry for your loss, though I did not know him well, Steve said he always enjoyed working with him while he was at Village Green. Hopefully you will continue to join us for the VG dinner group.

I wanted to send you a card, but cannot find your address so is why I am reaching out this way.
