Grandma Teri was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be missed by many who knew and loved her. She welcomed everyone that came to St. Mary Parish.

Teri was such a warm, friendly lady. I always got a smile on my face when she would walk into the post office to purchase stamps.
She will surely be missed by many.

Dear Skip and John,
We are so sorry to hear about your mom. My father, Steve is now at peace with his two beautiful sisters, Muds & Tuds.
Aunt Teri would come to visit us, with her beautiful Christine (which will also be missed), here in TeX-Ahs as she would say in her deep voice and Detroit accent. I have a fond memory of taking them both to shop at the Harley Davidson store. We would laugh, because Christine would say she could not leave El Paso without visiting the worlds...
