Sweet Cousin Terri,
Our times were few and far between, but I do remember some good times when we did cross paths. Your Dad and Mom hold a special place in my heart, and I know they are hurting more than I can imagine. You were loved by many and will be missed by many more. Till we meet again in a better place.

I recall when Terri started with the Fire Marshal Division She did work in my unit but our secretary Lynn Scott and I would see her quite often. She was a great co-worker and person. After the unit expanded, I was Mike's supervisor for several years until my retirement. Both Mike and Terri will be missed by those of us that knew them. We will not be able to attend the Memorial as we are away this week. D/Lt. David Smith (Ret)

I met Terri 25 years ago when the temp agency sent her to me at the DNR. She diligently set about entering some 70,000 UST registrations into our database. She was bright and personable- a real treat as an employee. I was so glad and proud of her that she found full time work with the State Police and later getting promoted within the DEQ. She will be missed greatly. My deepest sympathies to the family in this tragic loss.

I would like to express my condolence to both families. I graduated with Terri in 1983; she was one of the kindest people one would ever meet. God bless the families.

I worked with Terri in the DEQ and though are paths seldom crossed lately when I did see her she always asked to see the latest picture of my kids. She was a good person and will be greatly missed.

I would like to say that I am proud to have known Terri for 25 years and she has been a good friend. She was a very caring and concerned individual that would have given the shirt off her back; in fact she gave me many hand me downs. She raised her son, Ryan along with his father, Dick, husband and stepfather, Mike; Ryan made her very proud of his accomplishments in school, sports and now college. I will miss a long time friend and feel the loss for the family. Marlinda (Missy) Lowery
