I never had the opportunity to meet Terry, and clearly that is my loss. I've waited to post here until I could get my hands on a prayer card from my dad's funeral back in 1997. This is what we selected for the back of the card, and I think it's fairly appropriate for Terry:
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
But remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles;
I've only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
My going has eased my hurt and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
Not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because I will remember you all,
And look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts,
I've only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
Rest in peace surely doesn't apply here. I think Terry would want no part of that scenario.
