On Saturday, August 30th, our 2nd day in the world without Terry's vital presence, Christen, Hollice, Brad and I, along with our new dear friend Andrea ("Ari") from the US Embassy and a fellow American took a full day excursion to Lake Titicaca. On this very day, Terry, our dear friend Colleen, and I were to have gone exactly where we ended up going ...
We had a private van tour from our hotel to Copacabana on the lake, then took a 1 hour boat ride to Isla del Sol. It was a gorgeous day. So fitting to be on the water ... a day that would have so been enjoyed by Terry ...
Our guide gave us a little hiking tour of the island, including some Inca ruins. The sun shone down on us and kept us warm at this high altitude of almost 13,000 feet. Toward the end of our hiking tour of the island was the Sacred stream that flows into Lake Titicaca. That is where we chose to scatter a small portion of Terry's ashes. We really felt it was right to leave a bit of Terry behind in this country where he chose to end his stay on planet Earth.
The boat ride back was even better than the ride there; as I had figured (Terry's training) we had the wind and small seas going with us so it was a warm and pleasant trip aboard the rooftop of our private boat. It was an incredibly personal day. A very special day. A day we will always remember and treasure.
Terry is still loved; we will treasure all those incredible memories forever. Love, Tammy

Also, fittingly so, Terry made the Latitude 38 website one last time:

Dear Tammy,
We are so shocked and sad to hear about Terry. He was a prince, and the world is a sorrier place without him. Thinking of you,
Julie and Slater from Xenos
Dear Tammy,
Don't know if you remember us. Debbie & Al from Different Worlds. We met in Mexico, one of the times was for Terry's birthday. What fun that was. I was catching up with Letronic Latitude after being gone for 2 weeks and was so shocked to ready about the passing of Terry. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and Terry's family. You have been so kind to share with us all that you are going through. Thanks.
Debbie & Al
