Terry, you were the life whisperer. You connected and related to not only people, but all wildlife animals reptiles , fish & birds. You could tell where a single blade of grass came from every leaf from every tree you knew. My experience with you was watching that you couldn’t drive by an injured animal on the road without trying to save it or respectfully place it in a proper resting place. You held so much inside and yet place the helpless first even when you were in need. Now that you gone way too soon I know that within my heart and mind that you are still here. May you rest in peace and your life whispering spirit will continue on in the hearts and minds of all of us until we meet again. God bless you as God is with you. Love Always, Dedi.
