To the family of Terry stone,
I am sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) With sympathy,

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the family. I know what it is like to lose a loved one in death and very little can ease the pain. My family and I however, have found comfort in understanding the truth about death and the prospect of seeing our dead loved ones again. Did you know that in the bible, God promises to resurrect those who have died, to live again on earth? According to Isaiah 26:19, “your dead ones will live again. They will awake and cry out joyfully.” Additionally, at Psalm 37:10,11 & 29 it states that the righteous ones will live on earth forever in peace, after God has removed all wickedness. Finally, there will NEVER be anymore pain or death. (Revelation 21:4) What a joy it will be to reunite with our dead loved ones with no worries of ever losing them again. I hope this prospect comforts your hearts in this sad time.
My prayers are truly with you and I hope these beautiful scriptures are able to bring some warmth to your hearts as they have been able to bring to mine.
Most sincerely,
Carmen

Terry(Stoney)was a true friend and valued professional. I had the pleasure of working with Stoney at O’Reillys for 10 years. He was a great influence on me and my life.

I had not seen Terry in a long time and missed him at the reunions. We had a great time in Wyoming trying to build steel buildings in the middle of winter. But he and Loren Dalke kept me going long enough to finish in Douglas. Terry will leave a big hole in a lot of lives and will be greatly missed. God’s speed. Joseph Kelly
