Terri was a true inspiration to me as a young teacher. She was the perfect mix of fun and business. She taught me so much about compassion in the classroom. Her impact will continue in deep ripples that have no end. My heart hurts knowing her light no longer shines among us. Rest In Eternal Peace.

Saddened to read of Terri's passing. Years ago as a kid in in Huntington, Terri's brother Tim was one of my best friends. I have fond memories of Terri hauling us kids around to the movies, swimming pool, downtown , etc. in her white Rambler convertible. Nothing and nowhere we needed to go or do was too much trouble for Terri who always had a joke and an encouraging smile . My condolences to Tim and her family during this difficult time.
