Dearest Terry,

It has been so very long since I last wrote. It has been even longer since I last went and saw you. In 6 days it will be yet another birthday here, with out you. I can't believe that you have been gone a little over a year. But each day that I am here is a daily reminder that you are gone. I still find myself waking with the question as to why it was you, but I know that God never asks us that are left if it is alright to take you. God already knows that the answer would be "no". Nothing could ever prepare us for the lost that we have felt over this last year with losing you and Bob. I am glad that the two of you are together, with God and no longer have the worries of this world. This world is getting worse and worse, so it is well that you and Bob are not here. I also know that your body was not able to keep taking the strain of working, but you needed too and we all know you loved your job dearly. A lot has changed with me to, I finally went and filed for divorce. I still don't know when that will be finalized, wish you were here for that. I know you use to give me advice on Gary and of course I see things differently then what I did back then, I just thought you were like everyone else and trying to tell me what to do. Cody is about to go to a group home for awhile, as you know he has had several behavior issues over the last few years. For his protection and benifit I wanted him to go into a group home to help him use the skills he has learned. Losing you and Bob the way we did and so close together was difficult, but putting your child somewhere away where you feel you can't protect them is even more difficult. I don't only feel as though I loss you and Bob I feel as though I lost the 3 of you. Last year was very rough. But I know God works everything out in His way and in his time. And I also know that it will turn out the way God wants it too.

Your cousins have reached me by email. Carmella, Pat, Danny, Ricky Dale, Kim, and several others. They are like the rest of this family, shocked as to what has happen. Shelby is able to talk to your side of the family. She just turned 16, can't believe that. the pix that I have seen, she looks so grown up you would be happy about the way she has turned out. You would be very proud of her, I know you were very proud of her in the first place, but you would be even more proud of her. She is beautful and smart.  Well bro. I will leave you with that message, I love you and still miss you dearly. You will always be in my thoughts and my heart. Until we meet beyound that gate and walk the streets of gold togather I will miss you and be loving you with all my heart, mind and soul. Thank you again for being my Big Brother!!

                                                                                            love linda

Dear Terry,

Here's to your memory and wishing you were still here to enjoy the life you left behind. We all miss you and wish you were still with us each and every day. I went to Christopher Creek this last week. It was fun, I never caught any fish, but I did think of you and Bob while I was there. I wish I could fish like the two of you. I wish you were still around so you could enjoy fishing and camping. No one knows what a minute is like until they hear the bad news of a love ones death. That minute is so very short. Just like your life was so very short. There was still a lot of life left for you to live. I know every day was not a joy, but when you did get the chance to live it, you lived it. The last time I went out to the grave side I left sunflowers because I know you and Shelby would plant them every summer. I figure it is a little of what you shared with Shelby down here. And if Shelby does go by this summer or with in the next few weeks maybe she will remember the times you and her planted sunflowers.  I know she wishes you were still here so you two could still do that. I girl never out grows the time she has with her daddy. And Shelby loved you, still does.

Well Terry I will close for now, wishing you were here and missing you. Still wondering why God chose you and not someone else. But I do understand that when your day is up it is up. All I know is God took one of many wonderful men. This family loss not one wonderful man but two. Take care of us from where you are, stay close by us and help us remember that we all should enjoy the moments we had with you, no matter how many we may of had or not had. Help us remember that we all had choices in how we spent our family time togather. Some of us chose to not be as close to the family as others did. And help us to remember that we all loss you and Bob and even though we are going through our own pain we each have our own grief we have to deal with. Well big brother from one of your many sisters, heres to you and the life you lived.

Hello terry,

Just been thinking about you lately. Wishing you and Bob were still here. It has been almost a year now. Things for some of us have gotten easer, but then I guess it depends on what we are feeling at the moment. I have not been out to see you lately. Things are just moving way to fast here. Cody is still in the treatment center. Mom is still living with me. Dad is now staying out at karen's for a bit. Him and mom are looking for a place in Mesa. They think they found one close to were Terri and Bob lived. For them I hope they get it. You know dad, he needs to be in a bigger, brighter place.  I guess that is the only change there is. Well Bro. You keep looking down on us, keep us safe. and I love you and miss you.

Good morning big brother,

I made it back from Mo. The weather was so nice. We stayed with Chris and Danny. I have not seen them in along time. We left on the 8th and Mary had gallbladder surgery on the 9th. She did very well. We left for St. Louis on the 11th. Went and say uncle Denny. We stayed at Aunt Judy's. They moved. I had Easter dinner with Aunt Ann, her children were there. It was nice. On Monday we saw Aunt Margene, Aunt Easter, and Uncle Paul. I dont remember Aunt Margene or Aunt Easter. They made us feel welcomed. I still wish that I was there. It is always nice to get away and take some time off. But of course coming back is what you have to face when the end of your vaction is over. It is still difficult to come out and see you, then i have to face fact that you and Bob are gone. I have not been out there, not since I left on the 8th. This weekend i will put new flowers and another motorcycle on your grave. Easter is done and over no sense in keeping Easter Lilies there. I think this time I will get some nice spring flowers for you.  To kind of brighten up the fact that you are gone. Flowers can't replace you but at least you can have a pretty resting place. You and Bob have been on my mind alot latley. I think because it has almost been a year since mom's accident and that is what started all of this mess. That is how I will associate this mess, May 5th is when she had her accident. She had to go to the hospital 3 times, and then on June 22nd we lost Bob and then you on June 30th. It still  seems like yesterday when we got the news. What a day.  I was in Payson and I was being told this on the phone, rushing down here to be with mom when the news was broke to her and dad. I dont think at first that she heard what was being said to her, she looked at us like in disbelief.  Well Terry we all miss you very, very much. Even the folks out in Mo. talked about you and Bob. They can't believe it either. Life will never be the same. For all of us in this family. Rather it was your aunts and uncles in Mo., or your brothers and sisters, mom and dad, we have all been effected by the loss of you and Bob. My heart still aches to hear that laughter of yours, to hear just one more story, to hear you as you came over to mom's and dad's. Just one last good-bye, hug, and one last time to tell you that I love you. Like it has been said before, one never knows what they got until it is taken from you. Forever you will have a place in my heart bro.

Your sister Trina

Terry,

I'm leaving for MO. this morning at 6:50 in the morning. Stay with us as we travel the friendly sky's. We all need help down here staying safe.  I will be gone until next Weds.  I am planning on makeing Angie a scrap book of you so she can see what you looked like as you were growing up.  Continue to stay with Shelby and Laurie. They need to continue to feel your presence.  I went out on Monday to place another motorcyle and Easter Lilys on your grave, they look beautiful, I know you can see them from Heaven. Enjoy! When I come back I will be out there to place different flowers on your grave.  Bob's looks so bare without flowers. So share with your little brother.  He can enjoy them too.  Well you take care of us, keep us safe. I love you and miss you big brother. your little sister Trina

Terry,

Good evening bro. This Thursday Kenny and Lindell came out to Arizona. Lindell is speaking at one of the churches here this Sunday. They are suppose to go back home on Monday, tomorrow. I did not see them nor did mom. I guess dad got to spend about 5 hours with the two of them. Mom was taking Physical Therpy and I was the one to drive her there. I know they would of loved to see you also. Mom and I are thinking about going out to Mo. next month to see the family. Mary is doing pretty bad, or that is what I am hearing. And mom being where she needs help cant make the trip by herself. We dont know at the moment if she can even make that trip by plane. She has an appointment on the 24th of this month, I told her today we will ask her doctor. I came out to see you and Bob on Monday. I have got to change the flowers to Easter Lilys. Easter will be coming up soon and Im going to have to get you another motorcyle. Thats my new thing. I know how much you enjoyed yours and I think it is only right to have a toy one on your grave. So when I see you don't have one I  will put another one there for you. Terry I miss you. Still feels like you should be here. And I wish you were. I know in the end there we did not see each other, but that still did not keep me from asking mom and dad about you nor did it keep me from thinking about you. I still loved you, and i still do. We are all having a hard time with u and Bob leaving. It has almost been 8 months, and something like this is very hard to pick yourself up and carry on. I know someday we will all do it, we all will find away, but today it is still too new for us. Well bro. keep an eye on us, I love u and I miss u. Forever in my heart and on my mind.

Your sister Trina

HI TERRY,I MISS YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH I DROVE BY AND I WANTED TO STOP BUT JUST COULD"NT IT IS STILL REAL HARD FOR ME IT BRINGS BACK THE DAY WE ALL LOST YOU AND BOB AND THAT STILL HURTS TO MUCH.

Happy Valentine's Day Terry-

I miss you and Bob alot, but at this moment I miss having my purple slipper more then anything. I know you and Bob took it, so now Im asking for it back, Please! I have not been there to see you lately. Time seems to be my issue. I decided that I was not going to be able to go to school this semester. Mom is staying with me again and Cody being in a group home. All of this requires my time. But that does not keep me from thinking about you and missing u more and more each day. I think about the past and how I wish u were around to tell one of your silly jokes, or just to hear ur laugh. If I listen hard enough sometimes I still can hear it in the distance. And when Im alone, which is not often, I will sit and think about the past and sometimes I think about how things would be if only you and Bob were still here. I just wish that I would of done something more to keep in touch with you. but I know I or no one else in this family can do that now. Like it has been said before You never know what you have until it is gone. And none of us realized what a friend, brother, son, uncle, father or husband we had in you until you were taken from us. But that still does not keep us from changing the ways of the past. We all say the same thing that its only us now, now that we have loss u and Bob, but none of us are taking heed to losing u two and trying to get closer, before yet another one of us leaves to protect our family up in Heaven with the two of you. I wish we would of had more time with you, but I realize that you stayed away from us because why trouble yourself with a family who does not appreciate each other. And to a certain degree we are still that way. So God taking two good men has taught us nothing, and losing you and Bob has also taught us nothing. We are still looking out for number 1 instead of pulling together as a family. I just don't understand and I will never understand. I know losing you and Bob has me thinking that we are all getting older and two of my brothers are gone, who I will never see again or get advice from. But Im suppose to get support from the other 3 who I really cant trust. Well I guess I will go I love u with all my heart and soul. You are forever in my heart and on my mind. Your little sister Trina

Good evening Terry,

Have been thinking about you alot lately. I can't say really why. I don't know, you and Bob have been on my mind lately that's all I guess. I have not had the chance to go and see you or Bob lately. With everything that has been going on with Cody it has been hard. I'm going out there tomorrow, it will be my birthday and I have decided that tomorrow is as good as any day to come and see the two of you. Mom is having a hard time with your death. She really does not talk much about the two of you, Bob and you that is, but when she does it is you she talks about. Dad tries to forget about the two of you and he makes her feel bad if she talks about the two of you, I guess it is easer this way around him. I know losing you was unexpected and I know we are all having a hard time with your passing. And it is mainly because we never expected you to go, they way you did anyway. Bob we knew he was going and in some way I guess we got our hearts set on the fact that he was going and if u want to call it getting use to the fact he was going. I don't think even if you are told that someone is dying that you can get use to the fact that they are actually dying. Well I guess I will go. I love you and miss you. Wish you were here, we all love you, wish we would of all been able to tell you that before you left us. Your little sister Trina

Dear Terry,

Have not been on for awhile. The web page was closed. Just thought I would write to you and let you know that mom and I came out to see you and Bob about a week before Bob's birthday, mom looked so sad. When you ask her about you and Terry she will answer. but I dont think it is the full truth. You know how mom is, she only answers you the way she thinks you want to the answer. Cody went to the group home on the 22nd. It has been hard. I wonder sometimes what it would of been like if I would of had someone like you and Bob, the two of you were good fathers. You loved your children very much. I know there was not a thing the two of you would of not done for your children. Well I just thought I would say hi and that I love the two of you. Miss you a lot more then words can say and you continue to take care of Laurie and Shelby, look after your little brother. You take care your little sister Trina

Terry,

Thought i would write to let you know I came out to see you and Bob today. It was raining, and very cold. I put new flowers down for you, red roses. You know next month will be Valentines day, so I am one month early. I got you another motorcyle for your grave, we thought the other one was stolen, and of course it was not. But you are worth it. Your plot is the most beautiful one out there, you can see it from miles away. I asked if the floweres looked manly enough for you, and they do.  At least others can tell that your grave is visited often. Some out there look like no one every visits them, and I don't want people thinking that is what we do, once buried you are forgotten because that is not the case. You are very muched loved and missed by your family and friends. We all wish you were here for the holidays. I ask you to continue to be with Laurie and Shelby these next weeks, because I know that even thought the holidays are gone and over with that they still think about you each and every day. I know that I will see someone or something that will remind me of you and my mind will think about you. Motorcyles are the worse. I see them all the time. And every time I see one who is not wearing a helmet I want to yell out at them "Wear a helmet", but I don't. Well bro. I miss you and love you, wishing you were here. See you someday soon. Until then take care of us down here and take care of Bob, you two still have one another.

Good evening Bro.,

I have not been on for awhile writing and I thought I would get you caught up on what has been happening.... Im out of school for the next month, I dont know what my grades are yet, but I know I have had some rough classes this semester. I miss you and I think about you every day. Next Thursday it will be Christmas and I know we all will be missing you even more. Stay with Shelby and Laurie this holiday, because I know that it will be a rough one, being that it is the first year that they will not have you around. I know you were big on family and I know Christmas and Thanksgiving both are big family get togather's. this last week I have been thinking alot about that last Christmas together. The fun we had and the last time I saw you before Bob left us. Memories of you and bob are all that we have now, and they mean so much to us. Memories can never take the place of you, but at least we have that much left. I know what they mean when they say life is short, because it is. None of us were prepared for you to go, but I am glad that God chose you as my brother. This family never will be the same. Mom misses you and Bob both. I know she was very proud of her two boys, she might not have said it but we all know she loves the two of you very much. Mom never has been good at showing her feelings. But this year has been tough for her. Im glad you went and saw her in the hospital, we all know how very hard it was for you, like Laurie said you wanted people to think you were tough but underneth it all you are a big fuzzy teddy bear. You took after mom in that way. Well bro., until I see you again you take care of us down here, and take care of Bob, stay with us all through the holidays and I love you and miss you.

Your sister Trina

TERRY, WE ALL ARE REALLY THINKING OF YOU AND BOB BOTH. MORE THAN WE EVER KNEW POSSIBLE...WE KNOW NOW THAT WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE YOU IN THIS WORLD.
