This week, I lost a lovely friend who has been my neighbor for 33 years. I just finished looking at all the pictures you posted on line, and I so enjoyed seeing them. Terry smiling in every single one....specially the ones with the three 7's on the slots!
I knew Serge and Terry were always there. One of my favorite memories was on Christmas Eve...after midnight mass...all of Stephen and Karen's friends would come to Cindy Street for the festivities...the choir boys on the lawn lighting their way. I enjoyed watching all those young people going into a house and being greeted with Terry and Serge's open arms...and all that good cooking!
Terry watched my children grow up...and two of them marry...and now has seen me with my own four grandsons. She always smiled when I started talking about them. I so remember all her grandchildren coming for her care, and Serge playing ball with them in his driveway..and running after them riding their bikes. Now I watch the grandsons come and mow the lawn for Serge. He absolutely glows when he looks at them.
These last three months, I watched Serge never leave Terry's side...all day he was with her. He so lovingly cared for her... she never complained and would look at him and smile. I watched that and can only learn from it and hope for the same. He was with her, as all her children, grandchildren and family were. She would so gently smile when talking about them.
As I said, I looked at all the pictures posted here. She is smiling and is surrounded by love in all of them. That's a good thing to remember, you all surrounded her with love.
My sympathies to all of you on her passing...and here's to you Terry. I'm gonna miss your wave and your smile.
