Though our hearts mourn this great loss, we rejoice in knowing that Terry  is now in the presence of the Savior, where there is no more pain, sorrow, or suffering.

As Revelation 21:4 reminds us:

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying..."
