Terry,
You never cease to amaze me. Only someone could wish to have as much courage, strength and determination as you do. Your a real hero. I'm proud to call you my step mother. I've been thinking about you non-stop. And i know you can do this. I can't wait to see you and give you a giant hug. I love you more then you could ever know.

Amazing!!! You are tough as nails. One more milestone completed to add to your long list of accomplishments. You go girl! I am so proud of you. We are all thinking of you. Remember one step at a time is all it takes. Just look at what you have done already over half way there. You have already done this part twice now.
Love ya, Trin

Sorry we missed you yesterday at Whitney Portal. Hope you got the note on the car. John and I are still rooting for you, even though we aren't in the area anymore. Be strong.

Terry,
Deanna is right. There are no more words to describe you, just tears of joy and happiness. You know the way now. Put it on auto-pilot and bring it home. Each step of the way you can look at that aweful pavement and say "I'm DONE with you! I've already conquered my mission here. I'm movin' on!" Haven't heard much about how your spitits are lately, but I don't know how they could be anything but up just knowing how much you have already accomplished.
Love and Prayers, Karen

SPEECHLESS IN SPOKANE. (WELL, THE OREGON COAST FOR A FEW MORE DAYS). Terry, I hope that the fear that you left with is now gone. I can't wait to see T's documentary. I told my son about you hiking Mt. Spokane, dragging a tire, and I'm going to get me a little tiny tricycle tire and drag that behind me while I do my walking to the liquor store and back. Hey, it's a start. Love ya, jack

Oh Terry~Just knowing you are out there makes me want to get back out and get working again. And you know how much I have been procrastinating. Knowing what you are going through shows us that we can do so much more than we sometimes let ourselves believe. You are unbelievable!! I am sure there are many thinking "if Terry can do this I can do....." Thank you for being an inspiration to us all and for such an important cause. You have so much love for your son, your family, and your friends. Let that love carry you the miles you need to finish. We are all rooting for you. Love, Steffalo

Terry,
Sitting here at work thinking about you and how amazingly tough minded you are. I am praying for you and thinking about you all the time. Have not been around a computer in a few days so this is the first time I was able to go on this web site myself. I am completely proud of you and your determination, and for your child.
We are unconditional lovers of our children aren't we? Not too sure how much more a mom could do for her own son? That is what keeps going through my mind. I love to know a mom like you. You give all other moms inspiration and you know we all could use it. Keep up the great hustle. Thinking of you a lot.

Terry,
Steff was showing and telling about 07' when you had gone for a little stroll through the desert. I was amazed and impressed with at first the distance and the conditions, then to learn your intentions made me even more understand what an awsome person you are. Again in 08' all I've got to say is you have more heart than any one I know, Keep on truckin', Knute

Jeffrey R. Holland said: “Perhaps no anguish of the human spirit matches the anguish of a mother or father who fears for the soul of a child. … [But] parents can never give up hoping or caring or believing. Surely they can never give up praying. At times prayer may be the only course of action remaining—but it is the most powerful of them all” You have prayer Ter, but you also have added the action and are doing an amazing thing for ZACK, keep your spirits up, keep going,
KICK ASPHALT BABY!!!
love ya lots, lots of prayers D
