CASON PETERSON TERJESON 1991 M ay8, m July 14, 2007 Cason Peterson Terjeson was a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend but most all an indi vidual who brought so much into the lives of all who knew him. On July 14, 2007, Cason began his new life and destiny in heaven. While we feel he was taken from us much too soon we are reassured in the knowledge that God has bigger and better plans for him. We love and miss him everyday but we will take comfort in knowing he is our Guardian Angel who will look over us and guide us throughout our lives. We would like to take this opportunity to ex tend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who remembered our family by sending flowers, food, cards, gifts, words and thoughts of com fort, donations, hugs and prayers during this extremely challenging time. Your outpouring of support has meant so much to all us and will help us begin the journey towards healing. At difficult times like this, we are thankful to live in community that cares so much. Pennies from Heaven............ Pennies from Cason............ As Cason will always be in our prayers and hearts, so you will be too.
