I am so sorry to hear of Terri's passing. She and I were dear friends when I arrived in DC in the early 1980s though we lost touch after I married in 1989. I will always remember our plans to quit DC life and open a tourist business in the Virgin Islands. Terri will always be close to my heart.

Hey Mike & Chris,
Terri was a totally sweet person who I knew when I lived in DC in the 80's. We had lots of fun times together. I'm sorry for your loss and your children's loss of Aunt Terri.

I was terribly sorry to hear of Terri's passing. She was a long time friend and colleague. I will never forget the book she gave me after 9/11, titled "Leadership", by Rudi Gilulinai, and I will always have fond memories of our Friday afternoon discussions about movies......"what are you seeing this weekend, what did you see last weekend, what is coming out soon etc.".........She was a wonderful, kind, thoughtful and caring person who left us way too soon. Her inner strength will shine on forever. God Speed Terri. Your friend Titus.
