I loved my sister and will miss her.

Thanks to all her friends for their support during these past three years and especially to her husband Wendell. It was a battle but I believe she is at peace. Sally

Terry will be sorely missed by many. She always had the ability to make anyone laugh. And she was one of the warmest, sincerest people I have ever known. There is now a bright star up there, shining down on us. I offer my deepest sympathy to Wendell and all of Terry's family.

Terry was a very unique individual and it was a great pleasure to have known and worked with her within the last 3 yrs., until I moved to NC. She will be greatly missed by many.

Terry, was a unique and wonderful Woman. There are some people who just leave an everlasting impression with you and Terry was one of them. I was lucky enough to work with Terry for a few years and we also shared a friendship. I admired her convictions, her strength, her wit and her laugh. She had a way of making everyone laugh even in the most tense of circumstances.



I havent seen Terry in a few years since I moved to North Carolina, but it is strange how she will come into my mind - when things seem a little tuff. I will always remember her with great fondness and respect.



I send my most humble sympathies to Wendell and her close friends and family as I know she will be painfully missed.



Here's to Terry !!!! You made a difference in this trying world.
