What a honor to have known her.

Heartfelt condolences are extended to your family at this difficult time. Seek the love and support God provides to help you cope during this time - Psalms 29:11

Mrs. Terry Hershey is one of my Dearest Friends. Terry You impacted my Life and my Spirit. You are in my Heart Forever.I Love You, Your Dear Friend,(John Mountain Lion ) John Ronald Monteleone of Jansen ColoradoPS Jeanette (Mountain Lion) Monteleone sends Her Love too.

I ask Terry what drove her to do all she did and pay for everything herself. She said, "It's my darn old Methodist up bringing." I told her I was Methodist and she said most environmentalist are. I shall always love this great lady and pray that my darn old Methodist up bringing will lead me to continue a small part of her work.

Terese left a lasting imprint and legacy on the youth of Texas. Her work will be felt for years to come in their knowledge and commitment to the natural world. Camp Fire Central Texas will never forget the impact she has made for our children.

So sorry to hear of Terese's passing. She was my mother's first cousin. While it has been years since I last saw her, she and her activities have frequently crossed my mind. I wish peace to all the family and friends who were close to her and I am sure that she has found her peace in heaven.

Terry Hershey will be missed but never forgotten because she left so much behind for future generations. She gave time, effort, leadership, and money to conservation and environmental causes. She was a remarkable and lovely woman.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Terese. Our deep sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. May the "God of all comfort" help you cope and give you strength and peace. 2 Corenthians 1:3,4
