I am finding myself lost without you. I don't know what to do with my mornings anymore. My phone has stopped ringing all day and my voicemail is empty. You hated it when it was full. I find myself wanting to go over in the mornings. When I was growing up I was always at your house, you were my 2nd mom. You came back into my life after not seeing you for many years and now your gone again. When I was expecting my first son, my friends went and found you so you could surprise me and be at my baby shower. That meant the world to me. Art and Bruce send their sympathies. They can't make the trip to Connecticut. You spoke to bruce recently and he told you that you were his favorite aunt, same goes for me. I miss you already. What am I going to do without my aunt? We had so many plans for the summer. You were so happy the last night we spoke on the phone. We were laughing because you were being your usual difficult self. You wanted what you wanted and would take NO for an answer. I love you with all my heart, more then you will ever know. R.I.P. Aunty. Until we meet again.

to Terry's family...
I have only lived here at Salem Village a few years, but having Terry as a next door neighbor is something I will always remember. When ever she baked something, she would always send some "sweets" over to us. She loved my outside plants and told me if I was ever missing one, that I would know where to look for it. A few years ago she gave me a small angel statue. Now when I look at it, I will fondly remember her.
