    I was regrettably unable to attend the services and the visitation. My family members and I offer condolences to Terry's family and work family. I have missed working with Terry the past few months. He was a good friend to me and many others.

    Deepest sympathy for Terry's family. We grew up together and Terry was a kind, caring and funny person. We spent many hours together during our teenage years and I am deeply saddened by his passing. On Facebook, Terry often shared his beautiful flowers with everyone. Your family is in my prayers.

    My condolences to your family. I always enjoyed seeing Uncle Terry when I was a kid. He was a nice man who is surely walking the streets of gold in his new body. Take care and God bless.

    Jane and family, truly sorry in the loss of Terry. I can really feel the pain yall are going through and the only one that help with the pain is God and his mercy. I know Terry fought a hard battle with his cancer and I know from experience the pain each of you felt watching him go through all he went through. May God be with each of you now and the days ahead. I know from losing my husband last year to cancer that there will be days you will have him on your mind and wish he was still here, but the one comfort is that he will not go through any more pain from a disease that no one can control. Many prayers, Jo Ann Case Wonsey (Billy Case's sister)
