Terry is so deeply missed and still tremendously loved every day. He was such an amazing man, the strongest man, the most loving man. Even though he has been gone for over 10 years there still is not a day that goes by that I personally do not think about him and. He lived his life the best way he possibly could he loved his entire family fiercely and completely unconditionally. Terry Flanders will live on in all of our hearts forever. Terry has an amazing wife who will always love him, 4 children, 8 grandchildren, several great grandchildren including my own who know him even though they never got a chance to meet him, and several other family members who will always think of him often and always hold him close to their hearts.
