Letters and cards continued pouring in and were a great consolation.

An older friend dearly wrote:
Words cannot express, or human emotions emanate, the deep and genuine sympathy I feel for you, Terry. Lifes shroud is unyielding and honors no amends; but there is a light in the offing and that is Christ our Lord.

Many letters and cards came from strangers, too, in response to the newspaper articles around the country.
