Relaying For One Life

As some of you may know, Relay for Life was held May 20-21. Team Terry's Baristas was one of the most loyal to the cause. We were one of 8 or 9 groups that stayed past 10:45 and were the only ones walking after 1:00am. We all really enjoyed the experience for what it represented and were PROUD to be the for Terry Cordle.
On Wednesday, May 25, 2011, Terry lost his battle with Lung Cancer. It is so unbelievable that this was that same man that single handed chopped down a 40 feet tree in his back yard last summer. For over six months he fought cancer as hard as he could but now he is gone forever! I have known Terry for the around 20 years, since i was a little girl and only allowed to called him "Mr. Cordle" We've laughed together, talked about life and love, about his time in the war. About family and friendship and i think even a little about heaven. He was truly a dear person to me. Like the the Uncle i never had! I piece of heart with have him in it until the day that i too die and meet him in heaven. May God Always be with you Terry!  And if you will a moment of prayer. 
Dear Lord, Thank you time you gave us with Terry. Thank you for showing us, through him, what a kind and loving spirit can be. Please be with us all in our time of need. For those who grieve for Terry and for those who grieve for there own loved ones. In this day and age some many things turn our lives up side down and backwards. Help us to find strength in you. In your name. Amen.
