Rosalie Vigil wrote a sympathy message

“Often Terry would come to Colorado and ring me up and we'd meet for a visit. He always remembered those from the St. Matthias "hood"...we shared many fun times together throughout our childhood years and beyond. Terry always had a great smile. Being part of the "family", he always made me feel special. Rest in peace old friend. ; -( I'll look for your shining star* tonight up in the sky. Keep a close watch over all of us. Love, Rosalie* Ann Vigil....Princess Winona”
