A loving, kind, and gentle soul, Terrance, was a baby, adolescent and young man, who touched, warmed and won the hearts of those he met. Terrance’s kind, gentle spirit and his love for a peaceful environment is what he always strived for. His quiet wisdom and ability to forgive and look pass others’ flaws was the level of spiritual maturity he possessed. Though, young his wisdom and hunger for understanding was what he enjoyed.
