Hopefully one day soon I will accept this great loss. You were my uncle, brother and best friend. Not a day has gone by that I don't think about you and the trauma of losing my uncle under such horrific circumstances. Your life deserved a chance. I wish I was able to talk to you in your final weeks on earth. We talked almost every day for my entire adult life. I know that my joy will be restored but the wait gets hard sometimes. RIP UNCLE TERRY

I served with Terry on the Southaven Planning Commission. I was shocked and saddened when I learned of his death. He was great to work with and loved his family! Talked about them all of the time. You could tell he was so proud of them!!! May God's peace be with all of his survivors at this difficult time! June Rose

Terry had a giant presence filled with love, faith, care, concern, reason, encouragement and integrity. I can just hear him praying Jeremiah 17:8! Just about every prayer I heard him utter included a reference to this scripture. Terry was deeply rooted by that life-giving water and it caused him to share the fruit of love with everyone he met. I am forever touched by his big heart. The "Krissy" he would call me was like nails on a chalkboard...and he knew it! Yet, I could always expect to hear it after calling him "Could I Would". I am going to miss joking with him about these names (terms of endearment). I am going to miss that warm smile of his...I will forever miss Him. He's left a massive void in all our lives!! Rest well, "Could I Would"! See you in the morning!

I'll miss our talks in the hallway. We discussed retirement every time and Terry loved telling me about his kids. Bravo Zulu my friend. You will be missed. Rest now.

I had the privilege of getting to know Terry at work. He always had a smile and such a friendly personality. He spoke so warmly of his family. He would regularly ask me about my brother, as his sister and my brother had heart surgery the same day, same surgeon, just hours apart. He will be so missed. Heaven has a wonderful angel in Terry. May the Good Lord wrap His arms around Terry's family during this difficult time.

So many thoughts, prayers and hugs to Terry's family. I am very saddened by my former co-worker of many years. Terry was a wonderful people person. He never met a stranger and he loved to talk about his family especially his girls. There was so much love and care for his family and in his family. He was a loving co/worker and always had a smile on his face. He was a lover of all people. He alway exhibited grace and love to all. Rest in pesce, Terry. May the four winds blow you safely home. Heaven has truly gained an angel.

Terry always had something nice to say to everyone he spoke to. He seemed to have something in common with everyone. I will miss his smile and miss seeing him walk up and say "let me show you pictures of my daughters". I'm praying for comfort and peace for his family and friends. May God's love surround you as we begin this new chapter of your lives without Terry's physical presence.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
