Grandma was a lovely lady, a good cook and a very nice person. My grandma was nice to me, she was funny sometimes. Grandma was very good at drawing and that's what she loved doing. Love you Grandma. Fly high.

Grandma, thank you for being there in the mornings with me. You would make breakfasts that were very delicious. I was also always able to talk to you when I needed to talk and you helped me when I struggled with things. Like cooking something as simple as toast. We used to watch TV shows and go to watch movies at the theater. You taught me new things and I remember when you showed me how to draw in your drawing books, I loved looking at every single one you drew they were all so pretty. I miss and love you so very much.

I was your first when you were just a young lady yourself. Thank you for giving the best dad a girl could ever ask for and 3 siblings. Being an only child was very lonely. You were the best. Always knowing when we needed a shopping trip to cheer us up, food so we wouldn't be grouchy, or a ride to any event we want to go to or needed to be. I love you mom. Your oldest nicci

My Aunt Terry was one of my favorite people in the whole world. She was the cool Aunt that took me to do all the fun stuff. She had long beautiful hair that looked just like Cher. I used to pretend I was her by putting a bath towel on my head and swishing it back over my shoulder like I had long hair too.
She was a strong woman who loved deeply and forever no matter what hardships life threw at her. She was quick with a smile or a hug at just the right moment.
Terry raised a wonderful family who are now in the process of learning to go on without her strong presence there to remind them that everything is going to be ok. But wants us all to know that things really will be ok.
Godspeed

My condolences to the family. I still can't believe this happened. Terry, you are a wonderful woman. I will never forget the time I lived with you there in your house. I felt welcome, loved and appreciated. You were a mom figure to me. I thank you for that and I never forget that. Memories forever. It absolutely breaks my heart that our future plans of living with you there ends like this.. I looked forward to it so much. You and your husband gave me the greatest gift. You raised a amazing son (Tony) that hopefully soon will be my husband. And I promise you with all my heart that I will be the best wife ever to your son and will try my best to be a good role model for the boys. I unfortunately can't be there at this moment now Terry. But I will be there soon to help out Tony and the family. I love you Terry! Out of the eye but never out of the heart. RIP. Lots of love and a big hug, Melissa (your almost daughter in law)

I love you Mom. I miss you. You were my rock. You were the most caring mother, you taught me so much. I promise to try and always make you proud. I did everything I could to make you comfortable these last couple years. I will cherish every minute we spent together, those memories will never fade. Go be with Dad again, where you are happiest. I miss you both.
Love,
Your son
