General Keane, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family. Terry was a wonderful lady and I really enjoyed my time at Fort Campbell working along side her in your household.I always laughed at her great sense of humor.Whether we were stressing over a dinner party or spending countless hours decorating your quarters for Christmas, she could always lighten the mood with a joke or two. Fond memories.

Tim and I would like to extend our condolences to General Keane and the entire family. Our hearts are saddened. We will continue to keep Terry and all of you in our prayers.
Terry was my first experience with a commander's wife. She set a standard that resonated with me beyond what I can express. Not just as a military spouse, but as a spouse. What I admired most about her was quite simply her devotion and commitment to her husband. And to her family. No doubt,she was the wind beneath the wings. Terry was strong, intelligent, resilient yet caring and empathetic. She took sincere interest in the spouses and families of the unit. I will always remember the few times we spent chatting. I can only hope that I was half the military spouse she was.

Bob and I send our deepest sympathy. Your wife was simply one of the kindest people I ever met. She was a great mentor and the Army was enriched by her.

Lorraine and Arnie met Terry (and Jack) while students at the Command & General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, KS in 1975. Both were an inspiration to our class but Terry seemed so special and engaged in school activities with all of us and was the epitome of what an Army wife should be. Gracious, loving, enjoyable to be around and imbued with boundless energy were how we remember her. I know Jack and her family adored her and will miss her. May her memory be for a blessing.

I have fond memories when Terry and I passed time together while at Benning during Ranger training. Mike was pleased I had a good friend while he was otherwise entertained. I enjoyed being with her while we commiserated about missing our guys. Our condolences to her family. Karen and Mike Culloty
