Dearest Teresa Sue November 9th was the day you went to be with Jesus, 2 years ago - November 15th was your birthday. Happy Birthday sweet sister. November 16th was the day we had your service. I miss you everyday - no less than the day before. The holidays are coming and how you loved them. It is not the same without you (or daddy - who had such passion for the Holidays). I love you with all my heart and miss you so much! xoxoxox

Terri,
You were a wonderful friend and enjoyed our times together, sitting next to each other in Work Comp. The talks, the laughter, goofing off, luncheons, celebrating birthdays and Christmas. Love taking walks with you around the Farmers building. We really shared good times. You always listen to me and gave good advice. You were so bubbly, had a beautiful smile and I will miss that. God created a beautiful person. You will always have a place in my heart and not forgotten. I will miss you. Now you are an Angel in heaven. Love your friend.

Terri (Aunt Sissy),
Your strength through out all of this is to be admired! I will always remember your sweetness and our many laughs together! You were the sweetest Aunt there is and would do anything for anyone, especially your nephews! I love you and you will always have a special place in our hearts! Today is your birthday and I am thinking of your sweet spirit and know you will always be with us. Love you!

Terri,
You were one of the nicest, most caring, and generous people I've ever met. Every memory I have of you is a good, fun one. And man, you knew how to have fun! I will never forget your charming smile and laugh. You will be dearly missed.

Aunt Sissy! As we always said, you are our favorite Aunt! I still remember and talk about those days you would go buy us those ridiculous $150 pair of Nike Pumps every basketball season just because we wanted them...even though we'd grow out of them within 3 months. Will always remember our Disneyland and Magic Mountain trips (even though you thought your car was stollen when you were just looking in the wrong spot). You ALWAYS put your loved ones first, and for that I will ALWAYS be thankful and grateful! Thank you for all the wonderful memories! Love you and Miss you Aunt Sissy!
P.S - The picture is perfect!

Terri....you were my best friend from Farmers. I loved goofing off with you at the picnics and Profit Sharing events. You always had a smile and energy that wouldn't quit when we took our "power walks" on our breaks! You were the sweetest, most generous friend and "auntie". I miss you, my friend! Love, Dee

Terri,
You were such a great person. Always smiling and laughing and just got along with everyone. Working with you was a blessing but also knowing you on a personal level as well. You were so caring and giving and adored your nephews and nieces. You will be missed, but now you will get to dance with your father again. Miss you.
