May God give you friends, faith and loving memories to help you during this difficult time.
A smile comes to my face when I think of growing up in Timken and the good times we shared as neighbors. I remember Terry and my brother,Joe, were such good friends before Joe died in 1965. There must be a grand reunion in heaven now between the two of them!
