Dear Jeanie and family, I was unable to attend Terry's wake but wanted to assure you I took notice of his passing. From the time I first met him in first period English our freshman year at St. Pat's, he made me laugh. He was a good man, and his passing is a real loss. I am proud to have known him, and am certain the life you shared with him outshines the sadness you experience now. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With affection,
