I just learned of Terrie's passing. I was a patient of hers. Her compassion and caring was evident in all she did. My prayers are with you in this time of loss.

Dear Hicks family, I was a patient of Terrie's at different times and she was so friendly and compassionate. She spoke of you often and I was touched at how close to her parents she seemed to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It is obvious by these beautiful remembrances in this guest book that Terrie was greatly loved and will be greatly missed by all.

I knew Terrie from the Augusta Boxing Club. Terrie was my sparring partner while I was preparing for my fight in China in 2005. Terrie was there every day for 3 months helping me prepare. She and I laughed, cried, sweat and bled on each other in the boxing ring day after day. She was great. I am shocked to hear of her passing and only hope to stand next to her someday in heaven.

Terrie was a fantastic person and she will be missed very much! When she fought on my show in Athens Georgia, she spent hours of her own time helping me set up the venue, then went out and fought a terrific fight beating World Champion Erin Cantrell. May you rest in peace Terrie.

I first heard of Terrie from a good friend of mine at work and all the cool things they would do together. Hang-out, train, and a friendship that was unbreakalbe. I said to my friend Kieth I would have to met this cool lady your talking about. I had the chance to see her on the news one time. I then joined the MCCOR softball team and the first thing I said to her was, "so... your the Terrie Kieth talks about". It was a pleasure to meet her and to play with her. She was everything evryone says. She will be missed. God bless all in this time of loss. Thank you Lord for blessing us with Terri.

It was an honor and a privelege to be on the same state basketball championship team with Terrie. Terrie was the poster child for courage and grace under pressure. I will always cherrish the memories that we had with Terrie at Hudgens. I share in your sorrow, and rejoice with you that she is such a champion for Christ. We will always love and remember her. May God comfort you during this time.

i participated in several kickboxing tournaments with terrie. all of us who knew her certainly appreciated her uplifting nature and the positive energy she shared. it is such an empty feeling to experience this type of loss. people often touch our lives without us even realizing the impact they have had on us until it is too late. in memory of this wonderful woman, i encourage each of you to share with someone you love how much they mean to you. these small gestures are so important, but yet we rarely take the time for them. my love and sympathy goes out to all of you who are experiencing pain from this loss...

Terrie was a great friend to many and was truely great at what she did(therapy) but what i will remember most about her is the compassion she had for her patients and friends .Myself and all the kids at the Augusta Boxing Club will miss her wonderful smile and terrific attitude.

Susan Perfect

November 9, 2006

To the Hicks Family,
Terrie was my first physical therapist when I moved from NY. She inspired, motivated and pushed me as far as I could go always doing so with an infectious smile. We had a long standing joke that I would soon know all there is to know because I rehabbed with Terrie on and off for so many years. I feel your loss and your pain but hope that you know Terrie was loved and cherished by so many and her smile will live on forever. Take comfort in your memories. God Bless and may she rest in peace.

Sitting down here to write to you is a heart wrenching ordeal. Terrie and I have know each other for nearly 8 years, though you have never met me, your daughter was a wonderful part of everyones life. Terrie has been a great part of so many people, I guess it would be hard for you to get to know all of us. Thank you for your amazing child. She will be greatly remembered and missed more than we all will imagine.

Terrie, family and friends:
The best thing God secures us with is not knowing when he will take us. By doing so, we never have the chance to say "Goodbye." It's his way of allowing us to direct ourselves in his light to re-unite in a life later. The memories we share will never be forgotten and we will miss you greatly Terrie. The University of Georgia will miss one of its biggest fans from the Bulldog Nation. We love you Terrie. God Bless.

So sorry for your loss God is the only one that knows the pain you feel. Psalms 31:24 "Be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart, all ye that hope of the Lord." I new Terry through many months of Karate training with Mike Carlson. She was a wonderful lady and a good friend.

"What we accomplished in our past has created who we are. But in no way should our past accomplishments soley define who we have become. We are not what we were... We are not our accomplishments... However, we are who we have become from them and hopefully we have become something greater than our past accomplishments ever were..."

With all you accomplished in your life, you were a much greater person than any of it. You are God's Champion now Terrie.
