Teresa Anne Helmick

I knew Terry in the 1960s to 1970 in Long Beach, Miss as I lived next door to her. I miss her and her sister as we used to play together as children and went to school together. She was a wonderful lady.

I often think of her. Terry was my best teacher in college in Missouri - and she was only a graduate assistant then! Then I ran into her hear in Lawrence years later, when Harrison played on some sports team with one of my boys. I saw her at the grocery store just a few days before she passed, and I regret that I did not speak to her that day. I hope you kids are happy and at peace with all the wonderful memories of your mom.

I can't believe she has passed. She was an amazing professor and person. God bless her family (she spoke of them often.)And may she rest in peace.

Terry was my high school drama teacher during my freshman and sophomore years at LSHS. She left to go to CMSU (now UCM) in Warrensburg. I selfishly wished she had remained at LSHS because she was a fantastically funny and warm influence in my life. But I know she was excited for the new opportunities, and I'm now grateful that many others' lives were blessed for having known her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I share in your grief.

I was so shocked to see Terry's announcement. I worked with Terry at Lee's Summit High School. Her musical productions set a very high standard for professionalism and excitement. I'll never forget someone saying as we left "Fiddler on the Roof" that it was the same as a broadway production. I'm sure that kind of skill and concern carried through the rest of her teaching career.

I'm sure she will be missed by her family and friends. My condolences to all.

I´m sorry for your loss. You were an amazing host mother. I will always remember you with love.

I am so shocked and saddened! Terry was my public speaking teacher at CMSU in the mid-eighties when I was a freshman and she was a teaching assistant. She was a very good teacher. Better than many of the tenured professors I had. Then, many years later, I ran into her here in Lawrence where we both lived. We spoke when we bumped into each other from time to time. I just saw her a few days ago at Hyvee and thought about saying hello, but let the moment slip by. I will always regret...

Lindsey and Harrison, my heart is broken for you and for all of us who loved your mother. Her beautiful smile and empathetic demeanor will be missed by all who knew her. Even though our paths crossed less in recent years, I considered her a lifelong friend. I have many wonderful memories of times we spent together that I will treasure always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Harrison and Lindsey.
