    I met Terry a little over a year ago. He ended up being one of my very good friends. We talked every morning on my way to work and told jokes and discussed our plans for the day. We also talked about his children. I want you all to know he loved you all very much and was very proud of you. He was so happy when TC moved back home. He said it made his year. He was so proud of Nichole when she purchased her home. Everyday he talked about you. Terry was a wonderful caring and loving man. A true friend. I will miss him so much. I talked to him monday night of the 23rd and the last thing he said was I love you kiddo. Im going to miss that so much. He was the only one to ever call me kiddo. For those of you who knew him you should consider yourself very lucky. I do. He loved his brothers and sisters and would talk about them all the time.He loved being a fireman and him family there. He will forever live with me and I miss him dearly. My prayers and heart go out to his children and family. I love you to Terry. Love Kat
