Cuz, its been only a short time that youve been gone. I miss you so. I will never know why God took you. I went to that funeral home with my arm in a cast from reconstructive surgery due to my cutting my wrist. I wish so badly that I knew the pain you were in. We could have stuck together and held each other up. I was going through much more than I could bear too. I sat there and asked why God didnt take me as well. Im so sorry I didnt know your pain cuz. My god Id have been there and maybe Id still have my cuz here. These days my life is a rollercoaster. Up and down. I ask God why we lost you and still Im left behind. Kim said its because the family couldnt handle burrying us both at the same time. I wont know until I meet Him face to face for my answer. Until then I go on with your smile in my heart. I miss you so.
Thanks
Ron A. for making the marker cross. It’s is beautiful.

I want to thank each and everyone who attended Terry’s visitation and celebration of his life. There were over 200 family, friends and co-workers in attendance for both services. Also, for the ones who went on to the cementary, I am sure I missed greeting some of you after going thru the memorial book and I apologize and also for not spending as much time with you that I would have liked.
What a great message Jeff Walker spoke to us . I think Terry was in heaven saying preach on Jeff, I want my friends and loved ones up here with me when their time on earth is over.
Terry is looking down at each and everyone of us and it saddens him and me to see some with ill words and comments about each other. It’s time that we move forward and remember the good times we had with Terry. Not all of Terry’s friends cared for each other. We all have people we have differences with. God made each and everyone of us and we all have different personalities, but we are to love as HE loved.
If any of you asked Jesus Christ into you heart at the service or would like to please contact me, Jeff Walker or another believer. Jesus tells us to share our salvation with others.
Love in Christ
Fran (mom)
As Terrys good friend we appreciate all of everyones presence in celebrating his life today, from friends to coworkers. We appreciate Escambia County allowing their employees off to attend Terrys funeral today.

I LOVED YOU VERY MUCH AND WILL MISS, BUT ONE DAY I WILL BE REUNITED WITH YOU IN HEAVEN.
I did not know this man—but several friends did. From the posted comments it was my lost not have met him. There was some question about depression— PLEASE if you have a family member or friend or anyone you know who is suffering from depression try to get them help or talk with them about the help that is available. I have lost friends who were unable to cope with life. To the family I am very sorry for you— to Terry please go in peace.
Terry will be greatly missed by many and loved by lots of people, he was an amazing caring guy to my Grandmother Retha, he helped so much around the barn & helped me with my horses. He could make anybody’s day better, my rodeos will NEVER be the same without Terry being there to lead me through te alley way on my horse or be there to pick me up when I have an accident.But i know he’ll always be in my heart & be another angel , but he’ll always be over me to lead me tHeyy, is the show still on through the alleyway safely.. He was like my stepdad that I’ve neve had before. See you again one day bud, you’ll always be around & in my heart to go with my granny. Love you lots, Courtney.
Terry will be forever missed! He was a great co-worker at the road dept.! So sad to see him gone so soon!

R.I.P. TERRY- I Really enjoyed the short time we had together and could not have asked for a better friend who was always there if i needed something, you will always be in our hearts and minds. You have lots of friends to carry on your memories and you will be in our conversations for a long time. May God Bless you and your family.
Nick, Sydney, and Luke,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Your father was very proud of all of you, and I hope you find comfort in knowing this. Keep your heads up and strive to be the best you can be!
Ms. Fran, I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.

Nick, Sydney, and Luke,
I’m reliving my dad’s loss all over again as I read through these comments. There’s no doubt you had a great dad and he loved you all so much. I know it sounds cliche but I promise you, his love will be with you forever. No matter where you go, what you do, how old you get — you will always have his love in your heart. You will always have sweet memories and you will see him again.
Take comfort in knowing that. Also, take comfort in God and that time will help you to cope with this. You all have so many people that love you and are praying.
Don’t ever feel alone in during this rough time….. you’re not. We’re all here for you and so is your dad’s spirit.
Love always,
Monica
Terry was a great man he was the type who would give the shirt off his back and was willing to help with any project. Alot of people were able to know a great man. We alot of great times in the shop and at the track there will be an empty void there for a long time. It is hard to face reality and what has happened I keep wanting to see him pull up but i know this time he won’t. I pray for his family and friends. Terry may be gone but never forgotten
RIP Mr. Terry. You will never be forgotten. I’ll never forget the times we all had back in the days at Cantonment ballpark. Nick keep your head up
Terry, you were like part of our family. All the cookouts, racing, fishing that made for lots of fun. It won’t be the same. I pray for all the family and friends that are hurting right now. May you rest in peace.

only 42 years old, I am saddened Mr Snelson did not recieve his full measure of years. My prayers for his loved ones.
Daddy, you were a *very very special man to so many people. I hate that you were taken from me at such a young age, however I know that your in a much better place now. Your an angel thay can watch over me in everything I do, and I know you will. I wish I could have had just one last chance to see your amazing smile, to be in those loving arms, and to truley show you how great of a father you were to me, nick and luke. You did the very best job you could do with us. I know we made mistakes, but how else were we to learn? You loved each and everyone of us unconditionally. I will cherish the moments we had together forever. Theres a spot in my heart that will never be replaced by anyone. You were the best man in my life and I hope you know that. This has taught me to never ever take anyone for granted and always let your loved ones know how much they really do mean to you. The words I love you can never be out used. I said them every chance I got yet I still feel ike I could have said it more. I know you would have been *so very proud to watch me walk across that stage on june 4th, but, I’m thinking of it this wat.. now your gonna be there to hold my hand while I walk across it, and I know tht will be the most wonderful feeling in the world. Just remember daddy.. I’m still ‘your little girl’ and I always will be. <3 I love you dad, more than anything. Rest in peace, and don't worry, ill see you again one day. I promise.
Terry I’m so glad I knew such a nice guy like you, I will always remember the cookouts we had. I just ask myself way you, everytime I saw you at the store you would stop and ask me how I was doing and ask me about my mother and how she was doing. My mom and I are very sad, Terry RIP and God must have big plans for you.

To Fran, Nick, Sidney & Luke, heaven gained a wonderful angel to watch over you. You are in my heart and prayers now and always.
