Terry was a special friend, she will be greatly missed. We shared a love of Girl Scouts, worked hard in our sewing businesses and most of all our mutual love and pride for our children. I will miss her phone calls that always started with, can you talk? We often spoke at length.

Terry will be fondly remembered with so many great memories.
