I was Terry’s 1st grade teacher in Bismarck. He was such a sweet and handsome little boy. He grew into a handsome man! We lived out-of -state for many years, but when we moved back to ND, I tried to reconnect with him. Regrettably it never worked out and I never got to see him again. 😢
I send my sympathy and love to all his family and friends.💕. May you find comfort in your memories of good times spent with him.
