Dearest Terri,
I can't imagine life without you after 29 years of such a close friendship with such wonderful memories. Terri and Geri were quite a team! You were like the sister I never had - pure love, pure truth, pure understanding. We could always come to each other to share our daily events, the best and worst life had to offer at the moment. We could always count on each other. We were always on the same plane and spoke the same language. Years ago at 284 we often sang together; me on the piano in your dining room with you and your guitar by my side. The harmony was so sweet. It had been such a long time since we sang together until a couple of weeks ago. You called at 8 am Saturday morning asking if I would take you to a concert where 2 guys were singing the Simon and Garfunkel Songbook at the Unitarian Church in Paramus. We sat in the audience and got more and more into the songs. Eventually it was over...and then the encore. The intro to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" started. We both began singing softly at first, our arms around each other's shoulders. Our voices grew stronger and stronger as the tears rolled down our faces. On some level I guess we both knew what the future held as we sang the words. We walked out arm in arm, taking quite some time to compose ourselves before driving home. With all your inner strength and grace I really thought you'd make it through this, but now I know that God needed you elsewhere. I know you're in a far, far better place than all of us left behind here. But that doesn't ease the pain of losing you. You will forever be in my heart and prayers. I love you my sweet girl...

Cousin Theresa
We will miss you always and I pray to you every day to take our prayers up to heaven. You got so tired and God needed another angel so he asked for you.
Love you always

Cara Cugina/Dearest Cousin:
I do not even know where to begin. You have taught me how to be truly free for you were my hero. I miss the times we would play cards (what a card player! I was pale in comparison!) and have all those talks. The long walks we used to take...Love's Devine. I love you Miss Terri Lin. I am grateful that we were Cousins and most of all, Friends in this journey. It was my honour to be your Friend and you mine. When you get up there, say "Hi" to all. There going to be one hell of a Pinochle game going on.
Te amo`,

I love you,

In the few times I spent with Terry in the hospital, I will most remember how she kept enjoying life and she kept dreaming about the future. She was inspirational.

Dear sweet angel-
Although we only had a few moments together you touched my heart so deeply.....the love that everyone has for you reflects all the love you gave to them...I truly hope that this love comforts all who are missing you so, until the day you all meet again!!!

You will remain forever in my heart, not only as my dearest friend but also as my teacher. You inspired so many and always gave generously from your heart. You made my dream come true! retirement.
You spend New Years (2005/2006) with us in our home and we made all our plans for retirement together. Oh the fun we were going to have with our false teeth and canes haha!!!
I miss you so we experienced so many "firsts" together. I will treasure each moment and when I look up toward the sky and see the clouds I will know that you are really Chasing Clouds.
I love you

My beloved sister, friend, and spiritual traveler,

I will miss you so very much. I keep singing "True Colors" by Cindi Lauper. And I will call to you every day as I drive to and from work. I love you.

Things Terri taught me:
To live each and every moment.
To do everything I want while there is time.
To forgive and keep kindness in my heart.
To treat others kinder than necessary.
To live life in service of others.
