Carol was a dear friend who was always there to support me while working at the Morris Plains School District. Carol was wonderful with the children & a classy, competent, hard working Secretary. Rest In Peace Carol. You are an angel

Michael Terreri, again. And, of course, Lynn as a good neighbor. Another condolence, a late one for Bob.

My grown children and I remember Mrs. Terhune as the school secretary at Mt Way. Gentle, helpful, and caring, she was an integral part of the children's school experience. We all loved Mrs. Terhune!

You may not remember me. I lived next door to you, a thousand years ago. Lynn babysat my kids, and I taught her a few things on guitar. I remember Carol as being the nicest neighbor one could have. Bob, as well. And the boys. I am sorry for your loss.
