Grandma Terry
An absolutely wonderful woman who held more love and robustness for life than anyone that I have ever met. Her energy was boundless along with her love for her family. Only happy and loving thoughts come to mind whenever we think of her.
Our hearts and prayers go to Roberta and all the rest of Terry's family.
A truly lovely lady that will be missed dearly.
Love,
Lisa, Michael, Daniel, Andrew, Christina & Jonathan

To the family of Terry,
I taught at FFMS and would speak with your Mom each day, as I passed through the cafeteria. She always had a smile on her face and she loved her job and her students who she prepared lunch for each day! May she rest in peace and may God give you the strength as you grieve her loss!!!
