So many happy memories of Hank, fishing, golfing, playing card games and dining. He loved Perkins lemon meringue pie! His earthly journey is finished and has ended in Glory. PTL

I will always remember and appreciate Mr. Terhorst's love for the Lord. He oftened expressed his love around the dinner table by reading the word of God. My sweet and dearest friend Deb would invite me to family dinner on Sunday's where I experienced Mr. TerHorst reading the Bible to all of us. I believe this experience help mold my faith! As I think about him today, I can only imagine the trumpet sound when Hank entered heaven! "Well Done My Faithful Servant!"
