Tony and Patti Hoerner says
It was a blessing to pray with Terry and witness his faith in action as he pointed out the good in each person he came in contact with him. For those who came to tell him how much he was a blessing to…they went away with words that built them up and helped them know that God loves them so. We can be assured that Christ welcomed Terry home with the words,” Welcome home my good and faithful Son.”
We are honored to have known Terry, and continue to pray for you Rita and your boys.
Tony and Patti Hoerner says
It was such a blessing to be able to pray with Terry and witness his faith as he made everyone he met know they were special. As people came to tell him what a blessing he was to them, they always left feeling more blest by him than what they came to give. It was an honor to know Terry, and Rita we will continue to keep you and the boys in our prayers.
