  1. Terry: So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad but know this has been a long, slow struggle and he is better off – much more than any of us.
    I saw how you cared for your Dad coming every morning and taking the time to feed him and make sure he was fed. Have enjoyed talking to you while visiting my Dad. Will be praying for you and your family. Calvin Shope Family.
