Dan Terry – A reflection
To Dan’s wife:
Dan was a man of great character. He was a man of strength that was tempered with gentleness. He was a gentle man who had steely resolve to work at everything with all his might and as unto the Lord. He had a great sense of humor…he could find the lighter side in nearly everything.
Nancy and I share a fond memory of our trip to Bamiyan with you and Dan. He seemed to delight in getting just enough of a reaction out of you as he maneuvered the inclines and pitches of roads that may or may not have existed. We saw in his eyes a deep love and concern for you.
I found him to be a priceless resource for culturally sensitive issues. He always took his time to sort out the issues and see them from a number of perspectives. As Nancy and I sorted out our decision to leave Afghanistan both you and Dan were loving and supportive of us.
We pray that you find “Peace like a River” so that you will be able to sing… “It is well, It is well with my Soul!”
Our prayers and love to you and your girls,
Jim and Nancy

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3,4
