DOROTHY, I AM TERRIBLY SADDENED BY THE LOSS OF A GREAT MAN, AS I'M SURE YOU ARE AS WELL. ALTHOUGH I KNEW TERRY FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME , I FEEL EXTREMELY PRIVILIDGED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM . TERRY TAUGHT ME MANY THINGS ABOUT THE BIBLE , AND WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH EVERYDAY LIFE. HE IS NOW IN A FAR BETTER PLACE , AND IS WAITING THERE FOR ALL WHO KNEW HIM WELL. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO KNEW HIM . TIM
