All I can do is take a deep breath as I try to compose myself to write this note to your family Rell. To Mr and Mrs. Gathers I am very sorry for your lost. He was a great friend to Kevin. He was there for Kevin when all else failed and I appreciated him for being that stand up guy that he was. I am not going to tell you to not to cry because after the rain comes sunshine. And Rell will most definitely be looking down at you all with that smile telling you and Kev to be strong for he is okay. And will be watching over you making sure that the roads are clear for you all to walk without him. Again be of good courage for joy will come in the morning.

Lanell, Jerome and Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. It is my deepest regret that I did not get to know Terry as well as I should have. From the beautiful words that are being expressed by everyone in this guest book, I missed a wonderful opportunity to get to know a beautiful young man. He is in God's House now and he will never know pain again.

This is still not real to me,my comfort is this, "Jesus said to her:'I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. I do beleive this, and I am lokking forward to seeing you again on that day because his Father did resurrect him. Terry we all love you and will miss you dearly, your memories will live on in us forever, I can still see those big beutiful eyes. Auntie loves you.

Lanell & family,
Death is not an easy task to endure but to endure the death of a child is I believe is even harder. Remember that weeping endures only for a night but joy comes in the morning. Cherish the memories.Though Terrill was so young,God's word says, "a thousand years in his sight is only like an evening past and gone". Please accept my sincere sympathy and condolences. My prayers are with you during this time. Lean not to your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge God and He will direct your path.
