My heart is breaking. I met Terry at church more than a decade ago. We started our own little meditation group and when she went into the nursing home, I would bring her lunch and visit . Covid put an end to that , but I always enjoyed hearing her voice on the phone. She was a bright spot in my life and a true friend. I know her soul is eternal and free, full of endless love, but I will miss her.
