My "baby brother", I will miss him terribly but I know his is now resting and is no longer suffering. To mom and my sister, Sonya, both of you did everything you could to keep Terry comfortable the past few years and I want to thank you both publicly for all you have done for him. 

Terry and I shared many fun and crazy times together over the years. I could always call him to share a joke or even just to talk. I miss those times and even still have his old phone number saved to my phone. I never thought about removing it and now never will. I might even have old messages from him. Everyone loved him, even when he would get on their nerves! One of my sons stated that he was the "life of the party" - a true statement. 

For those reading this, please make sure that you are communicating with family members and don't let anything get to the point where you are not speaking with each others. I would have paid to be able to talk to Terry just one more time . Life as you know is short. You will hear people say that the dash (Terry's dash was 1970-2021) is an account of how they lived. Don't let any squabbles remain in that dash longer than necessary. Finally, tell people you love them. People don't use the word love enough, and this includes me. So, in closing:

Mom - I Love You
Ray - I Love You
Terria - I Love You
Sonya - I Love You
William (Sam) - I Love You

See you all soon,
Lawrence (BUMP)
