Lucie and I were deeply saddened to read this morning of Terry's death.
I had the pleasure and privilege of getting to know him through the Union League Club. Terry approached me when he saw me reading a copy of Armor Magazine in the Club's library and asked if I had been in the military. (I explained that I was just a civie.) Notwithstanding that, we became fast friends. I greatly enjoyed the many stories he shared.
Please know that Terry and your entire family will be in Lucie's and my most fervent prayers.
May you find peace through your friends, your family, and your God.
In deepest sympathy,
Cheryl Eastland
