I first met Terry when I was 17. Jared and I went to school together. Terry was always so kind and full of joy. She is now dancing in heaven with her son :(

Terry was a devoted mother, Nana, and friend. She was a magician in the kitchen and full of love. I remember when the kids were very young I was called Nana mama Tiffany and it was an honor to me- that was very special time in our lives, I´ll never forget. Terry you and your family are my family too and you are so very missed. I am blessed to have known you. <3
