I'm so sad that you're gone now Uncle Terry. When I needed a home you and aunt Dusty provided that for us. You guys brought light into my childhood. I'm sorry I used to eat all the pickles but I'm sure you wouldn't care about that honestly I just wish to see you sitting in your chair watching TV when I come home again. I'm going to miss you until the day I'll see you again.

Wow this really makes me sad. I think of the hundreds of hours that Terry and I spent solving all of the world's problems and laughing at the stupidity around us. He and I were compared to Statler and Woldorf from the Muppets at Oriole Park Schools waiting for the kids. I'm going to miss you my friend R.I.P. I will pray for you Dustine and the kids. God Bless
