I am a bus driver for Des Moines Public Schools and I had the privilege to take Terry to school this school year. Terry was always happy and excited to get on the bus and go to school he was truly a blessing and I thought of him as one of my children. I remember how excited he was about going to swim with the dolphins and I was excited for him. I had told him that I wanted to go with him just to see the joy, happiness and excitement in him that he would have during his trip. I have already missed him on the bus and he will always be missed. I know that you are in heaven running, playing and swimming with the dolphins, I'll miss you super Terry until I get to see you in heaven our angel. Mom you are in my thoughts and prayers

Terry's smile was always a ray of sunshine and I was blessed to know him. Although the years we had him were few He taught us to love unconditionally. "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you." Isaiah 43:2. May you feel God's arms surrounding you upon your journey.
