Terry was a great friend. He wanted me and Johnny to join with him ... we
wanted to but our parents wouldn't let us. Terry has been in my thoughts all
these years. I feel sad when I think of him. But when I think of him I also
smile. He was everthing a man should be. He was great looking ... all the
girls wanted to go with him. We had lots of laughs and some adventures. I
saw the Moving Wall in California and I looked for his name. When I saw it I
started to cry. I never knew his family but I alwys wanted to let them know
how much Terry ment to everyone. I always wonder if I had joined with him
if I might have been able to save him. I know he's with God and he's smiling
that big smile he had right now. It's been a long time but I can still see him
as if he was here. He will always be in my heart and prayers.
