Oh Jacky, I wish I could be there to give you a hug. I’m very sorry to hear about Terry’s passing. I can still remember seeing him at the plant picnics for International Paper when I was a kid and at our bank parties later on. I don’t know your new address, so wanted to make sure to leave a message on here to let you know that I am thinking of you and hope that you can take comfort in knowing the love you two had is reflected back in the eyes of your family. Miss you. Julie Eskew

We are so sorry for your loss
Terry and Jacky became part of our lives when he worked for RC Smith Transport.
Many times, he provided the link between O-Hare and family in Clinton.
