Hello Everyone, This is Terry Tinker (Ed's wife)

Oh, for Pete's sake!!! I really do not know where to begin or what to say. I am, quite literally, speechless and dumbfounded. THANK YOU!.........from the bottom of our hearts and forever, Thank you! Ever since I learned that Jerry & Ellie were organizing this raffle, and then hearing how many people were donating prizes and buying tickets, I have just been dumbfounded and of course thankful, for your care and incredible generosity. You people are just THE BEST!!! I can't even think of decent words to convey how I feel, but please know that you are admired and appreciated. You will never know how much this has helped us to deal with this occurence in our lives. And I don't just mean the money, but more importantly the generosity of spirit has made all of this a million times easier to bear.

I will close before I start tearing up again.

Blessings to you all!!!!!,
Terry Tinker

Actually, I think they are a pretty nifty looking couple (OK, so Ed is a little on the shopworn side Ã¢?? same as many of us). I am just so thankful that they were not directly involved in the fire and can be with us unharmed.

A special note of gratitude goes out to Jerry and Ellie Burney for organizing the assistance to these most deserving members of our Forum familyÃ¢?Â¦it really is a family. I think I speak for all of us in saying that both the givers and receivers are blessed. I am proud to be part of this fraternity, both on John Dunkle's and Jan StillÃ¢??s forums. There are a wonderful bunch of people here, and none nicer than Ed and Terry. God bless you all, may He continue to smile on Ed and Terry (and us all).

Thanks guys, I think so too. I should mention, we met Glen and his wife Mel, darn nice people at the restaurant, we went with my friend old army buddy, where we are living to this day.

We spent 3 hours talking guns, stories, etc., had a great time. I have made many good friends from this forum, many I have met, darn glad to have met them, and hope to meet again and all the others... thanks to all.

Hey Ed,
Great photos of you and your daughter!! Was Terry at work?

You're great people. My Grandmother used to say, " Anyone who loves animals. Has gold in their soul." Glad I could help friends.
