Our deepest condolences to Virginia and her family. Terry always had a smile to welcome you and was happy to see us. Whenever we went to their house to play Bunco, Terry always made sure there was a bowl of black jelly beans there for me once he found out I liked licorice. He will be missed . Our prayers are with the family .
