To Terri's Family,

I remember Terri from Gooding High. She was new to school and unlike most new kids, she took the school by storm with her quick smile and wonderful personality. She was always nice to talk to and she had the brightest red hair. She was beautiful inside and out. Although, I only knew her from school and lost track of her from there, she left an impression of what a person should be like, quick with a smile and a kind word. I am very sorry for your loss.
