When we moved into the neighborhood, i was blessed with a second mom. I could come to you with anything, and you always had the best advice. You were the one who pushed my mom to let me stay out later at night, the one who everyone could see a mile away just from that bright smile of yours.I remember you were the only person who didn't laugh at me when i got asked to join the Math Honors Socity. And I know, you will be at my graduation just like you promised.
I love you--erica

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. I know that this is true about Dear Terri, she will be remembered by all that had the good fortune to know her. My deepest sympathy to Greg and Kayla.

I was very sad to hear this news. I knew Terri in 1979 in San Antonio, Texas. She was a wonderful lady, full of life and joy. My respects and deepest sympathy to her family.

Dear Greg & Kayla,
Although we have not formally met, I feel as if we are very close through the many warm conversations Terri and I have had over the years regarding her love and devotion to the two of you. She adored her family, you could hear it in her stories and see it in her beautiful smile. Terri's positive personality will always be an inspiration, I feel so blessed to have known her and will carry her light enternally within my heart.

Terri,
You have been a wonderful friend over the years. We have so many wonderful memories that are too long to write. You will never know how much we will miss you, however, I don't think you will be far away. We know you will be sending us little signs letting us know you are still with us. And yes we will have a margarita for you!! Our lives have truly been blessed by having you in them. You have touched the heart of everyone you knew in some way or another. I sure will miss our talks and girls time together. You will always be a very special part of my life. Thank you for just being you! We love you so much! And now that you are a special angel, we know you will be watching over all of us. I can't think of anything better. You will always be in our heart. Hey - it's five o'clock somewhere!!
Love,
Carl, Terri, Matthew and Morgan
