Default Our dear friend died last night around sunset.

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you all know our dear friend, Terry, died last night. His wife, one of my best friends, called to let me know. I know he is finally at peace, and in a much better place, and for that I am most thankful. He was such a courageous man, who fought with everything he had, to fight this insidious disease his way. May he rest in peace.

I am sorry for your loss as well CindyLou. I have lost many friends to cancer over the years and it is not easy to lose them. They always have looked horrible, by the time they died though, that it has been a blessing to have them be at peace. Your friend is in a much better place.

Be well.

Terry Newton

Thank-you all. I was worried that my pre-op physical on Friday might interfere with the funeral arrangements, but fortunately I should have close to 1-2 hours after the physical to get there, so all is good.
