RIP Terry
My heart is broken and a connection to my father and his father has now gone to join them in eternal peace. Aunt Terry will be missed.
We first met Terry through Phyllis’ mom in Florida many years ago. A friendlier person we’ll never meet. We last saw her last spring when we went to lunch together a her favorite Florida lunch stop. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her extended family today and in the days ahead.
Aunt Terry we will miss you so much, but know that you will be in Heaven with your family. You will never be forgotten.
Aunt Terry , You were always a delight to be with. We had so many fun times with all the aunts as we were growing up. All of you were role models to us. We will remember you always. Love, The Twins
Terry was our dear friend and neighbor. We will miss her happy disposition, her fun stories about Crown Colony in the beginning and most of all lovely smile. You are in our thoughts and prayers, never to be forgotten, Dearest Terry.
To all Terry’s family. She was the most wonderful neighbor and friend. Always happy and young at heart. Never an unkind word about anyone. I will miss Terry and her quick steps past my door every day. She will be missed but lived every day to the fullest. I will miss you Terry. Love Linda
