My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of mourning. I'm sorry to hear of Terry's passing.
My favorite memory to share of Terry is when I was a teenager, he drove me, Patrice and Chanda down to Atlanta on a Saturday evening. He repeated most of the time driving down there "it feel good to be black, don't it?!" We basically were chanting it together in the car. So from that day on up to the last time I last saw Terry, I would call him "feel good to be black, don't it!" He would was always smile and wave at me. 😀
His presence will be missed by many.❤️🙏🏾
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
