I was very shocked and sad to hear of Terry's passing. She took care of our daughter many years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Josh and to all of your family at this very difficult time.

I hadn't seen Terry since my son left Oak View six years ago. However, this was shocking news that I just received today. Sad, I missed her celebration of life, as my daughter Jillian and I have known Terry and Sarah Delaney since Jillian and Sarah started kindergarten at Oak View, and they were friends from K-8th grade at Oak View, but both of them are grown now.
Praying for comfort for Sarah and the rest of the family, and sending love with my deepest sympathy.

My heart just breaks for you Sarah. Your mother was such a wonderful person. I enjoyed knowing her and the times we were able to hang out - only wish there were more. I wanted to go to her memorial, but due to a previous commitment, I was unable to. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this trying time.

I did not know Terry as well as I should have but what I do know is that she loved my daughter Sarah and Sarah loved her. They became girlfriends non and for that I thank you Terry, also for loving her as I do.

May your journey home be a peaceful and rewarding one for all the souls you have touched.

I will miss Terry dearly. I've worked with her for 23 years, and it's hard to imagine Oak View without her. She always had a smile and a laugh for my students each week, when it was our library time. She was a dedicated and hardworking woman and friend. R.I.P

My condolences to her children and grandchildren. We are planning on driving down for her service on Tuesday.

Terry was my Aunt Joann´s sister & l thought it was cool when we were kids(she was younger than me), that she was an aunt already! She was a very kind & lovely person. We are so saddened by her passing & send prayers & sympathies to her family. I hope that all the wonderful memories with her bring comfort. She will be missed by many including us. Sincere love & prayers, Cary & Terry Roberts(Thompson) & Family. (We always loved that we spelled our names the same when we were girls)

My deepest condolences to Terry's children and grandchildren. I remember Terry at Oak View as one of those people who was well-liked by everyone and got along well with everyone. She was a superb employee and an important part of what made Oak View the fine school that it is.

Denise and I were Terry's neighbor, and she was a great one. We shared the same Love of our kids and of Oak View School, and most of all she's my sister in the Lord Jesus and we will see her again. I will miss her at O.V. for she was a wonderful librarian and employee. She was a great friend because she was a faithful, wonderful, person and she was so trust worthy. A great mom and loving grandmother. I'm so glad I knew her. Blessings to this wonderful family during this hard time.
