To my dearest Tara, Donnie and Big Donnie. There are no words of comfort to send to you and relieve the sadness that you are feeling, because I share that same sadness.
As you know, Harriet was one of my best friends and together we shared secrets, love and alot of gossip.
She will always be in my heart and memories of her will live on forever. She was one of a kind and everyone loved her, even those who may have only known her for a day.
Harriet was a special lady and God knew that and he chose her to bring happiness and laughter to heaven.
I do believe that she is with us spiritually and will always be with us. May God give us all the strength to learn to live without her physcial presence and peace of mind to know that she will be with us for eternal life. May we have the courage to keep all of her memories alive.
I love you all!

Tara, Step-Dad and little Donnie,
I don't even have any other words except I am so sorry. Harriet, my step mom, was always wonderful to me from the first day I stepped foot in your house. Your whole family accepted me as one of their own. I am truley sadden that she is not here with us on earth anymore but i truly believe she is watching down and making sure everyone is safe! Like Aunt Vicki commented in the eulogy, if we do run into trouble Harriet will be "reckin" who ever is the culprit. As long as I believe she is there in spirit, I know everything will be OK.
I love you all!

I have the most precious gift that could be given to me. Harriet's granddaughter Taylor. Not only was Harriet a caring, loving, giving person, with tthe biggest heart anyone could have, I was lucky enough to have her as a mother-in-law but she was so much more than that. God has a true angel in heaven..I will miss her greatly but am fortunate enough to have Taylor to keep her close to my heart and her memory alive. I really loved her her and will miss her more and more as I see Taylor grow into the beautiful girl that her Mam was so proud of.

Dear The Terlingo Family,
From the short time that I knew Harriet, I knew she was someone special. She was such a pleasure to care for. As her nurse from time to time, I looked foward to our conversations about her family and friends. She was such a strong and special person. She will be missed. My heart goes out to you all.

Dear Tara (and the entire Terlingo family). I am so sorry to hear about your loss! You are all in my thoughts and prayers! I have enclosed something that I hope will give you the strength that it gave me when I lost someone very dear to me!





To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dominick, Tara, and Dominick,

I am very sorry for your loss. Harriet was a beautiful woman, both inside and out. She lit up a room when she walked in. I didnt get to see her that often, but every time I did she always made me laugh; She had such a sharp wit! I made sure I sat next to her at the family gatherings - that is how enjoyable her company was ! She truly was a special lady.

May she rest in peace.
