There is a remarkable lesson that Terry's passing brings to mind. You could have enormous wealth....be a renown statesman....be elevated above all men. When you die you are mourned by thousands, nay millions. The tributes pour in from around the world. I see similarities in Terry's passing. He is being mourned by a whole town and many in surrounding communities. His deeds in life have been many and they have all been good. The accolades for Terry keep pouring in. I said there are similarities in the scenarios i have presented. The difference was that Terry did not have enormous wealth. He was not known far and wide ...around the world. He is not being mourned by millions, but you could not prove that to the citizens of Man, West Virginia. Terry is being mourned by so many because we love him. He has touched so many by his good deeds. He has mentored so many young people in his coaching. He has touched so many in his career. Terry Robinette is a man who excelled in life and every thing he did. This did not go unnoticed by God. When Terry went through Heaven's gate....the angels sang and rejoiced...and God ...the creator of the universe looked at Terry and said ...''WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT....WELL DONE.. I knew Terry only through Facebook and those who have known him throughout his life. However, I can say that he honors me with his friendship and countless others. To the Robinette family I extend my condolences and pray God will calm the waters.....wipe away your tears ....and reassure you of salvation and everlasting life with Terry in Heaven.
