Here it is 2022 and another year without you. Missing you hurts so bad! I would love to talk to you another time. Miss your caring, sweetness. Hope you and your Dad are finding each other.  Miss him, too. It is 9 years since you left us. Lots of love to you.    Mom

You left us 9 years ago today which seems like a lifetime of not having your handsome face and fun personality in our lives. The grandkids continue to grow and you’d be so proud of them. You have new great nieces too! I know you are looking down and protecting all of us, I hope you are also able to be with your Dad, my Mom and Dad and all the other friends and loved ones who have left us. I will always love you my sweet man!

Happy Birthday my Dear Son. ....69 years old. Wish you could be here to say your funny things when we come up on a special Birthday or things. I hope you are visiting with your Dad and our sweet Cooper who left us July 5, 2020. I am sure you would have some comical things to say to me at my last Birthday. Can you believe I turned 90 ????? As I have said before, I remember vividly when you were born. A special First for me and your Dad. You were our Special "little" Boy your entire life. Lots of love to you....  I miss you terribly. Mom

Happy 69th birthday in heaven honey. Can’t believe you would be 69! I think about our fun times and smile… we had a good time while it lasted and you will hold a special place in my heart forever. PS - You would NOT believe what is going on in the world nowadays!!!

Hi honey,
Today is the day you left us 8 years ago. I have seen several yellow butterflies in the backyard the last few days and I think that is probably you... checking out the new landscaping and patio which you would love! You won't believe how big the grandkids are getting... but I'm sure you watch over them as well. Love you my sweet man... wish you were still here with me. Tell everyone there with you, "hello" and that I love them too.

Dear Terry,

You’d be so proud of your son and your grandsons. Andrew serves veterans so faithfully every day and fathers his boys with so much love and strength. He’s also an amazing husband to me. We talk about you all the time and carry so many memories of you in our hearts - last night Andrew showed our friends the cobra! ;) Love you and miss you always. Tiff

Good Morning, my Son,
We had to say Good Bye to you this day in 2013. The sadness has not left my heart. I guess you welcomed Dad back in June 2020. I'm having a time adjusting to you and Dad both being gone. You would be so proud of your Boys, their Mates, and your sweet Grandchildren. Each is so special.  Love and miss you still so much, Mom
  Lots of Love to you. Can never forget the handsome smile, tender hugs. Miss you.....but, will see you again some day!!!! Love, Mom

Happy birthday my Sweet Terry! Can't believe you have been gone 8 years. The last year has been crazy, but you would have kept us laughing the whole time! As your mom said, the family continues to grow and hopefully you and your Dad are getting to have the relationship you always wanted now. I love you and know you are forever in my heart and with me every day.

Good Morning, my Dear Son,  
Another Birthday for my Dear Son....#68. I remember the first one, vividly. You were 2 weeks early. Such a joy. Your Dad and I had a good time getting to the hospital. Such a wonderful time. I guess you and your Dad are getting together. Love to both of you. I miss both of you so much. Saw a wonderful Soccer time over the weekend with family watching your Grandson Will. He did so well...won the tournament championship....You would have been so proud. Family keeps increasing. Ben & Melissa's Madeline last Oct.....Rachel and Josh coming due in April....and then Elena and Brent coming due in June. Oh how I wish you were her to enjoy all the excitement. Andrew and Tiffany with Will and Jack are back in OKC. Great.... Had a visit from Matt and Olivia with Cash, Miles and Penelope...Great... I hope you share someway in these happy times. Lots of love to you on another special Birthday I wish we could have celebrated together.  Love you, Mom

Good Evening my Sweet Son,
A lot has happened since I last wrote to you. The world has gone crazy. Covid is everywhere. As you may know, your Dad died June 7, 2020. I hope you two have gotten together. I miss him terribly as I miss you. But, life goes on, as they say and I'm trying. Shannon wrote the good news of Rachel expecting in April (a girl!) and Elena in June 2021. Those are our Great Grandchildren #14 and #15. Ben and Melissa gave us Great Granddaughter Madeline. Oh, how I wish you could meet her. She is so precious....like all of them....I know you loved when the new babies came along....I hope you are watching. My first Christmas without your Dad. Not fun.... This coming year will be a lot of "firsts". I will be celebrating the New Year with Cooper. He still misses your Dad and rubs his chair every time he walks by it. Miss You, still Love you lots,  Mom

Merry Christmas Terry! Wow what a year this has been. COVID, your Dad's death... but good things too. Ben has a new daughter named Maddie, Rachel is expecting and Elena is expecting her 3rd! Andrew and family moved back to OKC and Matt and family are doing well. I can't believe you've been gone 7 years. I miss your love of "Christmas Vacation" and other silly traditions, but we try and keep them alive. Oh, and Claire is turning 16 and is taller than Craig! Love and miss you my dear man,

Hello, My Son,
As usual...miss you. This is a mixed Day. Had to say goodbye to you.....but, this was special Andrew's Birthday....we can't be all sad.....I guess you have had a chance to say....HI to your Dad. We miss him, too. Hope you saw the Memorial Service for him last week. You would have been proud of all the family represented.....and the wonderful remarks Matt made. Can't express how much we miss you.  Your Shannon is a remarkable woman....but, you knew that when you brought her into the family. Love you, miss you...what else is there to say......We have to go on but it is hard....Love you, Mom

Wow, can't believe it has been 7 years since you left us. We all miss you every day and still honor your memory by remembering all the funny things you would say and do and how you brought so much fun and laughter into our lives. I hope you have welcomed my Mom, Dad and your Dad into the next world. Hopefully you have also met Rob... he used to talk to you and felt that he knew you, even though you had never met. I love you honey and always will... so grateful for the time we had together. Thank you for sending me the messages you sent...
With all my heart,

Hello our Dear Son.... It has been 6 years since we said Goodbye. Hard to go on without you, but we have. Today is with mixed feelings. We did not want to let you go, but it had to be.....Andrew turns 40 today. Tough day for him to celebrate without you....but, he must celebrate even though you are not here in person. You are watching over all of us. We had to release you from your pain to exist....I guess, we are happy for that. Love and miss you.....all of us do.  With love, Mom & Dad

Happy Birthday dear Son..... I remember the day before you were born. I fixed Sunday Dinner for the family. As my Mom (your Grandmother "Bobo") left the house she said ... "Well, we need to get ready for this baby." You were due Mar 16...two weeks later. You surprised us all and came for us to greet you, the next day....What a beautiful Baby you were.....and handsome man you became. Oh, how we miss you. You would be 66 today.....I'm still waiting for that phone call I usually got from you.....Miss you terribly.. Love, Mom

These past five years have seemed like they have gone by so quickly yet sometimes it feels like they go by so slow and you were just here with us. Thank you for sending me your special signs throughout they year... I know you are watching us from a better place and hope you are seeing the good things that are happening in our lives. As Andrew said, your "Terry-isms" will live on in the lives of many... thank you for bringing such joy, love and laughter to our lives. Miss you every day... Love you always!

Hi Dad,
It seems like just yesterday we said goodbye. I think about you everyday and all the memories and laughs. I always bring up grandpa Terry-isms to Will and Jack.  The legend of " the Cobra , speed and quickness, and I got that going for me" live on. My birthdays are tough as I think about you, wish you were here, and wonder why. I was able to go see you at the cemetery first thing yesterday. Love and miss you dearly!!

And, again another day to especially remember you (you are remembered every day!). ... Five years ago we lost you. I have read the notes I left over the years. I see I said last year you have 5 grandkids??? Where did I get that. I guess just brain dead...as I get when I think of you being gone.... No, you have 3 wonderful grandkids.....a granddaughter you didn't have the opportunity to see....She is as special as your Grand Sons....As usual we will go to the cemetery ... our lone try of the day to get close to you.
We miss you terribly....more as the years go by.

I played next to Terry for 10 plus years on the volleyball court.  When the team would get in a funk and get frustrated and mad at each other, Terry was ALWAYS the one to do something crazy or say something to get us all laughing.  He was so much fun to know and have on the team.  We spent many a nights on the sand court and Stews Crew Deck and drank beer and told stories.  His were some of the BEST.  I really did not get a chance to get to know you very well Shannon but I am so impressed with how you stood by and took care of our friend.  You are an amazing woman and god really blessed Terry and his family when he lead him to you. 

From Craig Smith

July 17, 2013

When I think back of him before this affliction, I'll remember his love of my sister and the strong love and partnership they shared. I'll think of his love of the outdoors here in Colorado. The hikes, the bike riding, the golfing, and his volleyball team. My and Ashley's daughter, Claire always thought Terry was hilarious and they always went through this little act together when Claire was little and called each other Monkeys. Colorado won't be the same without him.

Shannon, if/when you need ANYTHING, call your baby brother. To Terry's parents, sons, sisters, and extended family and friends, The love between these two was extremely strong and caring. They made each other extremely happy and they both loved living in Colorado. I'll think of my friend Terry before every OU football and will imagine he's berating the umps/refs/OU coaches in OU victory and defeat.

If there is an afterlife, I'd like to think of him back as the Terry of old, playing volleyball with his visor on, opening a beer with his special flip-flops, and then settling in on his spot on the sectional to watch OU hang a half a hunnerd.
