I have just heard of Terri's passing. Words fail at a time like this. We were great friends in junior high and high school. Even though we spoke very rarely over the years, she has always held a special place in my heart. Through Facebook we reconnected. She was proud of her family and spoke of them with great pride. Rest in peace, my friend. Condolences to the family. May God grant you peace in this difficult time.

Gary and family.. so sorry for your loss. I remember Terri as the music teacher a Minneha when I was doing lunchroom and school bus driving. What a fun sweet lady. I was also neighbors with your parents and really enjoyed them.

I still can't believe that Terri is gone. Terri was like a second mother to me. She was more than just the person I worked with. She was a mentor and dear friend. She took me under her wing when I was wounded and broken. She will be greatly missed! One of our students said it best when he said, "She isn't gone! She is in all of us!" Love you Terri!

I am so sorry to read about the loss of your daughter. I worked with you at NBW and you always spoke so fondly of Teri. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathy. Terri was so sweet. It was a blessing to talk with her at my father's burial in 2011. I first remember meeting Terri years ago when I was lucky to be the ring bearer at her wedding. I have always cherished that experience, and despite being very young at the time I somehow knew she was a wonderful person.

Mrs. TenEyck was my music teacher at Franklin. She was the one who turned me on to music and made me think of becoming a music teacher. She was dedicated to her students, even remembering me by name when I visited in college for a class requirement. So many students were touched by her and she will be greatly missed.
