Cayla, Chelsey, Ryan, Lou, Marlene, Bud & all other family I haven't seen for ages. I only learned of Terri's passing yesterday from her wonderful mother. (Thank you for calling). I am deeply and most tearfully sadden by the loss of this amazing woman. Terri & I were roommates in our youth. She had such drive & determination to be the best she could be and I always looked up to her because of it. Her strength inspires me still. I had to chuckle when I read threw her guest book at a woman who said when she & Terri went walking on the beach, your mom said it was a way for the two of them to exfoliate their feet. That was sooo Terri! Logic was everything! But it made her the woman she was.
I never knew your Mom OR Dad was sick. She never told me. I missed your Grad party last year Cayla, and wish now that I would have changed my plans to be there. If I had only known…….
I will pray for you all, please know that your loss is heavens gain. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY!

Cayla, Chelsey, & Ryan - Your mom was a wonderful person. She will be missed dearly by her gang here at Travelers. She made a very positive impression on all of us.

I came to know Terri when she worked in our department at 3M. The few times we interacted, I was struck by her kindness and calm manner. She was always so helpful during a difficult transition period. My heart goes out to her children, family and friends. What a terrible loss you have endured in the past 8 months. May you all find peace and strength from God's care and the care of those around you.

March 18, 2011

Cayla, Chelsey & Ryan, I have known your mom since high school and we often would remember our trip to Mexico with our Spanish class when we were Sophomores at Ramsey. We had a blast and I finally found the pictures and we had a good laugh over how young we looked and seeing the places we visited and the pyramid we climbed. Then as fate has it, your parents moved in across the street from my brother Dan and Jackie and so we were able to visit more often. She was one of the strongest people I knew with a very positive attitude that you couldn't help but draw strength from. Always be there for one another and for Jackson, that will make your parents happy as they watch over you guys.

Cayla, Chelsey, and Ryan -
Your mother, Terri, was a friend of mine from the Travelers workplace.

Though you do not know me, I feel like I know all of you very well because Terri regularly shared news about the family activities with us at work. She was very proud of you all!

I am ~so~ sorry that you have lost both of your parents at such young ages in your lives and I wish I could "undo" it for you, however I've also seen that the Vimr family has a very solid support structure in its neighbors, church and family. I will join them with my own prayers for you.

Bless you all,

Emily Blados; Terri's co-worker

Cayla, Chelsey, and Ryan,
I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. She was such a wonderful and special person. I was very proud to know her and to be her friend. Both of your parents and also your grandmother will be your special angels watching over you. Be comforted knowing that they are in Jesus's arms.

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

With deepest sympathy, Cayla, Chelsey, and Ryan.
May you all find comfort and peace with all the happy memories you have.
I met Terri when we both worked for 3M, we became friends right away,later both my husband and I meant Jerry, and instantly became friends as well. We will always remember the great times we spent out on the boat with Terri and Jerry. I will miss the walks Terri , and I took along the beach; Terri said it was a good way for us ladies to exfoliate our feet. Terri always had the best sense of humor, and I will miss that.
Rest in peace my sweet friend.

The lost is so great its earth shattering.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

God's comfort, peace, protection, love, and blessings, to Cayla, Chelsey,Ryan and Jackson now and always.

With immense sympathy and love;
Pat, Patti Follmer and Family

To Terri & Jerry's family;
I'll miss Terri's bright and shining face in the mornings at the clinic.
She fought strong and noble, yet remained sweet and loving.
Go with God Terri. Blessings for the family & strength to continue.
