After a tirelessly long journey battling to hold onto any bit of what healthy life she had left. A true fighter! Terri was a whimsical artist, extraordinary photographer and mother. Her talents have been shared near and far. Terri's loyal, unconditional and fierce love was felt by many. The way she was able to bring comfort to others was always magical. Adventure always thrilled her, while the ocean always calmed her. Terri will be missed here on Earth but she will always and forever be in our hearts. We rejoice in her heavenly healing and reunion with all her dear loved ones she has missed for far too long. Remember this " Every flip of the a sea shell, there I'll be." ~ Terri G.
