Terri,
Oh Terri. I saw your Father today at the store. He came in to purchase feed, and I knew something was wrong. And then the news that you were gone. How tragic! :(
We've known each other for a while. We competed together with OBCMA,I. We had a blast along our journey! You had an amazing voice on stage. Now you have an amazing voice in Heaven! You've touched so many lives along your short journey. You will continue to touch live in Heaven! May God bless your soul. And thought and prayers to your family!
