Terry, although I did not know you well (I was very young when my family moved away), all our uncles and aunts taught us that family is family. I will forever be grateful for the love and kindness both you and Lethia gave to my parents in their last years, when they moved back to Morristown. Being a man of faith, I know you are in a better place with your family members that have preceded you there. Love, Cousin Brenda.

Terry you are a wonderful brother consistently there. In your transition there is a hollow place in my heart that can never be filled. Thank you for being my brother, for being there and loving me every day you were here, loving other relatives, friends and others, and being such an upstanding man. So love you, my wonderful brother.

We are very blessed to have Bro Yeary as our Sunday School teacher. He always let us know that it was the Lord that was teaching and not him. Bro Terry was a wonderful Deacon, He loved Toney's Chapel with all his Heart-How do we know that- Terry showed it-We will always keep him in our Hearts

"Terry you have fought a good fight, you have finished your course, you have kept the faith. Henseforth there is laid up for you in Heaven a crown of righteousness." I love you, my darling brother but God loves you best and He knows you love him. I will miss you, I am so sad to see you go. Rest on in the arms of our loving God. I will see you in heaven.
