Terry had a great smile and spirit. When I think of him I hear his laugh. I spent time with him at the last Nelson Family Shoot and got some nice photos from that day. Sending love and prayers to his entire family.

My grandpa was an amazing man. He was always full of laughter and jokes. He is loved by so many people and my heart is full to know that. He is now our guardian angel and will watch over me everywhere I go. I will miss him but I know he is in good hands. I love you grandpa and thank you for all the beautiful memories you gave me the past 23 years! Forever in my heart.
