Dear Peggy: I just received the news about Terry. I realize words can't express the way i feel for you and your family for your loss. I realize you are glad he is out of pain as i was when Mike passed. I am still recovering from being in the Hosp. with Covid as my recovery has been very slow. Terry will be missed by so many of us as he was always trying to be helpful to anyone who needed help. I know the pain and confusion you will be going through; my prayers will be with you and your family and so many of Terrys friends who will always miss him. LOVE YOU GIRL, HANG IN THERE.
