I was honored to walk in your honor today. I thought of your family and the sacrifice both you and they have made for others. May your family know that you’ve not been forgotten and they have a prayer warrior here in Green Bay, WI lifting them up.

I remember you from our high school class of 1975. Such a nice young man you were. We lost touch after h.s. graduation, but I am honored to have known you and your sacrifice for us on 9/11. May you rest in peace with the rest of the angel-heroes in Heaven.

Every year on this day I think of Terrence. I never met this man but I have a bracelet with his name and Fire House name on it. My father was a firefighter as well as my uncles. So I am very aware of how firefighters are family. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. He was a very very special man. He will never be forgotten. He will be in my heart. I wonder in heaven is there a special place for firefighters? If so, Terrence is there with my dad and uncle. God Bless his family. Terrie

Today I had the honor of wearing your photo as I walked the stairs in Chicago. Know you are not forgotten and in reading your bio, I feel like I got to know you a little. I wish I could have met you. Rest well, you earned it.
