In the early morning hours of February 16, 2016, God spoke and TERRANCE TERRELL BAKER entered into rest. On October 11, 1990, Terrance was born to Paige Lashon Baker and the late Claude Brown in Augusta, Georgia.
Terrance, known to some as "Teezy" was educated in the Richmond County School System.

When tomorrow starts without me, A n d I 'm not there to see. I f the sun should rise a n d fin d your eyes, A llfille d with tears fo r me; I wish so ?nuch you w ouldn't cry the way you d id today, while thinking o f the many things, we didn l get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, a n d each time that you think o f me, I know you 'll miss me too; but when tomorrow starts w ithout me, please try to understand, that an angel came a n d called my ?iame, a n d took me by the hand, a n d sa id my place was ready, in heavenfa r above, and that I 'd have to leave behind a ll those I dearly love; but as I turned to walk away, a tearfe llfrom my eye,fo r a ll my life, I 'd always thought, I d id n 't w ant to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it alm ost seemed impossible that I was leaving you. I thought o f a ll the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought o f a ll the love we shared, a n d a ll the fu n we had. I f I could relive yesterday, ju s t even fo r a while, I 'd say good-bye a n d kiss you, a?id maybe seeyou smile; but then I fu lly realized, that this could never be, fo r emptiness a n d memories, w ould take the place o f me.
A n d when I thought o f worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought o fyou, a n d when I did, my heart wasfilled with sorrow. B u t when I walked through heaven's gates, I fe lt so much a t home. When God looked down and sm iled a t me, fi'om H is great golden throne, he said, "This is eternity, and a ll I 've prom isedyou. Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today w ill always last, a n d since each d a y's the same way there's no longingfo r thepast. You have been so faithful, so trusting a n d so true. Though there were times you d id some things you knew you shouldn 't do. B u t you have been forgiven a n d now a t last you 're free. So w on't you come and take my hand a n d share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we'refa r apart, fo r every time you think o f me, I 'm right here, in your heart.
