ReplyDeleteI pray that Terry is now a soldier for God; that he will be protecting us from the all unseen evils. I pray for his wife, Erica, that she will be blessed with the strength to accept God's peace and not waiver in her faith at such a horrible time. My love and prayers go out to her and all his family. Always remember that tomorrow is never a given and tell those you love how much they mean to you.
