    Jerry and family,

    I remember Terry and Margie did the wedding ring test and were positive I’d have a girl. They were right. Much love, prayers for peace and healing.

    I didn’t know Terry well, I met her one time at my sister Dina’s wedding when she married Richard. I could see she is a good Christian, so Terry has been welcomed home by our Lord and Risen Saviour Jesus Christ at his wonderful home in Heaven. My sympathy goes out to Terry’s family and friends.
