On July 17,1998 my brother-in-law was killed by a
drunk driver at 1:30 am, he was on his way home from a
friends house. He was a Victim to a DRUNK DRIVER.
Terry was born on July 12,1954 to Betty and Glen Van
Dyne,he was their first born,He had red hair,and a
temper of a red head. Terry was a fun loving man,
family meant more to him then anything. He loved his
parents so much he called them every night just to say
he loved them. He only had one sibling,(Robert Van
Dyne Sr.),when Terry was taken from us that left his
brother all alone.
Terry was an outdoors man, he loved to hunt,fish and
really loved camping. And he was a real big fan of
Dale Earnhart. Terry loved to ride his motorcycle too.
It was black cherry red, with alot of shinning
chrome.He always said that he was going to die on hi
bike and well thanks to Mike Adams it happened on July
17, 1998.
Terry has lefted behind his father,(Glen Van Dyne),
his mother,(Betty Van Dyne), one brother, Robert Van
Dyne Sr.), four nephews, Robert Van Dyne Jr. Jeremiah
Olney, Roman Van Dyne,and Cory Vandyne. Two daughters Heidi
VanDyne and Jessica Vandyne and one son Dustin Vandyne.
Two nieces
Stacy Wilson,and Nicole Van Dyne. He has two great
nephews, Zack Wilson, and Heath Van Dyne. One great
niece Kayla Wilson that he never got to see. We all
miss him and love him so much. We wish he wasn't taken
from us so soon.I am his sister-in law ,Evelyn Van
Dyne and I am so mad about what has happened to him
that I am dedicating this memorial in loving memory of
him. TERRY LEE VAN DYNE. For God gave his only son,
mom and dad has lost their first born son to a drunken
driver.

A letter to my Uncle Terry VanDyne Who was killed by
A Drunk Driver On July 17,1998...
I miss my uncle very much. He meant everything to
me. He was there for me when I needed to someone to
talk to. He was the only uncle I really knew. I wish
he was was still here. He would be here if a drunk
driver did not go out and hit him on his way home from
a friends house. My uncle didn't even really get to
enjoy his birthday like he wanted tohe wanted to go
away with his friends to a nascar race and because of
a drunk driver he never made it. The drunk driver that
took his life is named Mike Adams and acts like
nothing has happened. He is wrong and he made the
wrong choose to get behind a wheel when he has been
drinking, now we have lost a very important person in
my life.
Dear Uncle Terry:
I love and miss you so very much. Now you'll never
get to see me and Cory grow up and finish school and go
to our proms. Mike Adams you need to be in my shoes,
without the uncle you haved loved so much. We was
going to go to Cedar Point before school started back
up and we never made it because of you Mike Adams. I
hope you rot in hell for what you have done to my
family. I hate you MIKE ADAMS.
love his niece,
NICOLE VANDYNE age 13 now

RIGHT.
LOVE YOUR AUNT FREDA
"THE PROPHET"
Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love.
And he raised his head and looked upon
the people, and there fell a stillness upon
them. And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his
opinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he
crucify you. Even as he is for your growth
so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your hight and
caress your tenderest branches that quiver
in the sun,
So shall he desend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers unto himself.
He threshes youto make you naked.
He sifts you to make you free from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you untill you are plant;
And then he assigns to his sacred
fire, that you may become sacred bread for
God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your
heart,and in that knowledge become a
fragment of Lifes heart.
But if in your fear you seek only
love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover
your nakedness and pass out of love's
threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you,
shall laugh, but not all your laughter,
and weep, but not all your tears
Love gives naught but itself and takes
naught but from itself
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say,
"God is in my heart," but rather, "I am
in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course
of love,for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you have love and must needs have
desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wouned by your own understanding
of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at noon hour and meditate
love's ectasy;
To return home at eventide with
gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the
beloved in your heart and a song of praise
upon your lips.......
Kahill Gibran
The Prophet
