I am sorry for your loss Mrs. Riddle, I will always remember his smile. He made me laugh when he would smile and look at me why he was suppose to be doing something else. The day I meet y’all I told y’all God crossing our paths for a reason if it was something for me to teach Mr. Terry or if he was to teach me something.. Well he taught me to always smile nothing is that bad to take the joy and love away from you that stops you sharing with others.I am blessed to have taken the last of his journey with the both of y’all... I will always remember that smile snd the love you to has for one another. Prayers for you snd the family. Love Angela Cornelius

I thought the world of Mr Riddle (Terry) He was a good man and someone that I looked up to. I always enjoyed seeing him and talking to him. Really enjoyed the time at the fairgrounds when he had Dairy Cattle there. I know that you are going to miss him but I also know that he is in a better place and this is not goodbye it is only I will see you later when we all get to heaven

You were a very nice cousin. 6 years older than me but when we were kids you always took time to play with me, show me how to milk cows, let me ride Nick, great horse. Thank you. You were a very sweet man who loved God. I also remember your quiet sense of humor. R.I.P in the arms of Jesus, dear cousin.
