Terry was such a special individual in our life. Dad & Terry always helped each other out when needed. Terry continued to help us with hay after dad’s passing and always was there to help if something came up I couldn’t handle alone on the farm. I will sure miss bring your Wednesday night supper’s ever since Roberta passed but most of all I will miss our summers together in the hay field. I was proud you called me your adopted daughter when we went to the doctor or other appointments. We love you and will miss you. Cheryl, Bolt, Skeeter & Sharon
