Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Daddy Massie, as I called him, was a joy to be around. I’m going to miss the many spade games between him, Traci (my sister/best friend), & Randy. Me & Traci won almost all the games :). We had many great times and laughs…..loved you dearly. Prayers and condolences to Darlene, Traci, and the family.

  2. In loving memory of my husband. The day you left and gained your wings, my heart just broke into. I wish you could have stayed with me but heaven needed you. You left me with memories, and I love you dearly still, no matter how much time goes by you know I always will. I cannot bring you back. Although I wish it everyday, but a piece of me went with you the day you went away. You were determined not to quit early in your race. You were a trooper all the way. You fought the good fight, you finished the race. You kept the faith. With God’s love, grace, and mercy, may you rest in peace. Until we meet again. Your loving, caring, dedicated, and devoted wife Darlene Carroll Massie. I love you. I miss you.

  3. We didn’t know Terry long but he was a real inspiration to the neighborhood. He was always a joy to be around and always had a big smile and warm greeting for everyone. He served our country honorably and quickly rose to the top enlisted rank and, no doubt, inspired many soldiers along the way. We were blessed to have him as a friend in our lives and will miss him.

  4. Terry was truly a family man who tried to keep this small family together and my mother helped him get his first job in Houston
