They were soul mates and never could be separated. They were each other's rock and did everything together. They were each other's love of their life. She and her husband loved to travel, especially cruises. They got to do a lot of things together in their travel adventures during the time they had together. They both loved the beach so much they purchased a condo in North Myrtle Beach, SC and went there as much as they could until her illness.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Brinegar and Elliott families.
Terri was just a baby when I first met her in Germany.I saw her often. Her parents, Earl and Joann, became best friends to my husband Aaron and I. Our families have keep in touch over fifty years. I had the opportunity see Terri as an adult. what a beautiful, sweet woman she became.
Although Terri will be desperately missed by everyone who loved her, I pray that God will comfort all.
Rest in Peace.
