I worked with Terri on 2500 and we both worked nights. After she left 2500 I did not see her very often. One day when she worked on 3700 (I think) I ran into her and she told me of her struggle. I was always amazed at how forthright she was in her life.
I always enjoyed working with Terri, there was always a smile to look forward to.
I've never meet her family but if they were anything like her it would be a treet to meet them.
Bless You

While it is obvious that Terri was so many things to so many people, I remember her most as the mischievous instigator and my co-worker, mentor, and friend. I can attest that knowing and working with her over the years has forever changed my life. I’ll miss so many things -- her laughter, her smile, her honesty, and her zest for life -- just to name a few. Albeit her time with us was unexpectedly short, may there be comfort in knowing she will continue to live on in the hearts of the many lives she touched. ^j^

There are no words to express my sadness in learning of Terri's passing from storm & tempest & physical suffering to an unknown calm & perfect heavenly home with no pain and no tears! Terri was one of the most special friends I've ever known. Terri, as one of my co-workers when I worked at MoCoHo, was always smiling, spreading joy and encouraging others. That was just Terri! Terri was a great listener and friend to me last summer when I experienced some hardships. She always had something positive to say and was so encouraging & supportive of me! Terri never complained, though I know she, too, had more than her share of hardships, illness, and sadness. Terri was always smiling, laughing, often cunningly mischievous, and a joy to know! She loved her Lord and was not ashamed to say so! Praise Him! I am so thankful that the Lord allowed my life to intersect with Terri's life! Just from knowing Terri, I know that she would now express to family & friends to not be sad and for us to know that she is now in the loving Father's care! Terri's spirit is now renewed, cleansed and she is experiencing a new awakening - a much better life than we have here and more joy & love than she ever experienced here! I am praising & thanking God for the privilege of knowing Terri - such a wonderful person! (Proverbs 10:7)
May our merciful God help Terri's friends and her family to remember His promise -- that all who believe and trust in Him as Terri did -- will meet again in another time, in a different place and in a better tomorrow! Every passing life leaves something beautiful behind, just like a seashell -- as we remember the joy & privilege of knowing Terri - and our favorite memories of her {mine being the joy of her smile(s) & her hug(s)!}, may God bring you His peace, comfort and love!
Love one of Terri's sisters in Christ,
Sara (Norman)

Although my entry into Terri's life story occurred fairly recently, I thank God, that I was fortunate enough to meet and love her. Terri had an awesome faith built strong through trials and tribulations and it was her testimony that helped to strengthen my own faith. I am forever grateful to her for being an example to me. She was a wonderful friend to me and I will miss her tremendously. My comfort comes in knowing where she is and who she is with; I will cherish her smile, her laugh, her compassion and her honesty, and I know she has become one of the most beautiful heavenly angels, that she adored here on earth.

There was something special about Terri. We both had a love for angels-now as I stare at my collection of angels, I will always remember Terri and the times I spent in laughter at and with her! I worked next to Terri for about 3-4 years and it was truly an adventure day to day!! She was real to others and to herself no matter what. She enjoyed life to the fullest. I had high hopes of her receiving her healing and being around much longer, but God had a different plan. He always knows what is best and makes no mistakes. Terri has instilled something in everyone to spread her love all around. I'm sure Terri wouldn't have it any other way. To the family, rest in the peace of God and just know that you hold close to your hearts a legacy that touched so many and will be remembered forever.

I will always cherish the time that I have been granted with Terri. She has meant more to me than anyone could ever imagine, or even I could have dreamed of. You will aways be my AngelLady. From your Angelman. <>}}}}-

Every once in awhile some one comes along in life that I immediately like, grow to love and really really care about. It is always a gift, and it doesn't happen alot. You were one of those people Terri, and I hated to see you hurt. I know you are at Peace now and I know how strong your relationship with God is and I know you are up there and looking down on all of us, smiling. For all of that I am grateful, but you will stll be missed so much. I have never seen somenone so loved by so many people as you, and everyone of us is a better person as a result of knowing you. I will miss your E-Mails and I will miss you easy-going manner, and I will especially miss seeing you on Monday nights...I am so proud to have shared Home Groups with you, and we had other things in common that we bonded on. And most of all I am so grateful that I had a chance to walk this walk with you for as long as I did and to share this beautiful Program and Fellowhip and Life with you, however brief. (5-6 years.....)May God Bless You and Your Family and all of us who grieve your departure. Love Diane (Franco)...

I just heard the news about Terri. I am so very sorry. I wish I would have known earlier, I would have definitely come home to be with you all. Friends since early childhood and such a loving family, I have no idea what you are going through. I can only pray for you all and keep you in my thoughts. Sandy, Tony, Barbara, and Doug: I love you all, and again, am so sorry.

I've known Terri since high school in Graham. It was such a surprise to run into her in the hall years ago at Wesley Long. We have seen each other often over the last few years at Moses Cone. I have always felt a connection to Terri because of our home town. My thoughts go out to her family and friends because I know they are deeply saddened by her death. I hope you find comfort in the memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. I didn't work directly with Terri, but she always had a smile on her face and making joking comments. I will miss her and her smile.
God be with the family and friends during this grieving time.

I am sorry for your loss. Terri was an aquaintence of mine but a close friend to many of my friends. My brother Rick passed away the same day as Terri and it gives me great comfort that they will get to meet on the other side. Rick can use an angel like her around. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Terri was a very special friend to me and I will miss her more than words can say. She was a beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She was there for the birth of my son and was there when I reunited with my daughter. Now you are with the angels and with the Lord. May God bless you and your family.

I was so sorry to hear of Terri's passing. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everyone who grieves at this time will find comfort in knowing Terri's was an Angel sent by GOD so we could experience Unconditional Love. I will always remember her saying " Remember-be gentle with yourself". She always had a positive outlook on life and was always up to the task of living "ONE DAY AT A TIME". Please join with me in reciting the Serenity Prayer. GOD, GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

No matter what I say it seems inadequate to express the sadness I feel about Terri's death. What a Blessing Terri brought to so many during her life. I will never forget her. As you grieve your loss please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Terri would always smile and her eyes would twinkle like she knew a secret. But then again, Terri always found humor in the day and sunshine in the moment.
The memory of her that makes me grin is when she taught me how to fold a dollar bill into a bow tie. Then she'd hold it up to her neck like a fashion statement. Although this was a number of years ago, I can close my eyes and see it as though it happened yesterday.
God bless you and your family, Terri. He already has... You are loved. You will be missed. But you will always be thought of with great affection.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
