Please accept my sincere condolences dear family and friends. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. And may you find hope and comfort in God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17).

I lived across the street from Terry and Marty on Erie Road in Colorado Springs, near Prospect Lake, with an awesome view of Pike's Peak, back in the 1950's. Terry was 3 years older than me, Marty was a couple of years younger than me, but somehow we all managed to at one time or another, play together, attend each others birthday parties, go trick-or-treating, roller skate, ride our bikes, play hopscotch, jacks, and so much more. Our mothers had "coffee clutches" together with the other neighborhood moms. Occasionally our parents would get together and play cards, or just sit and visit. Several years after my family moved to Denver, I received a phone call from Terry, such a pleasant surprise, just catching up on the time lost between. Such a welcome conversation. Thank you for being my childhood friend, Terry, it meant so much! Patty Pace
