"One of life’s saddest moments is when you hear of the loss of a friend."
There are no words to express the deep sorrow of losing Terry! It is heart-breaking. So many cherished memories continue to flood my mind, from grade school to our group of five hanging out throughout our high school years. (Terry, Debbie B., Connie J. & Kathy W,)! I have been more than blessed attending school & being best friends with these beautiful, smart and special women.
Terry was a fun, supportive, kind and loving friend. She had a beautiful soul and a great sense of humor. I know she adored Art, her children and grand-kids. It will not be the same at the class reunion this year without Terry.
A part of our hearts will be forever empty. We’ve lost the chance to tell Terry how much we appreciated her friendship. To laugh together at our shared memories, or to let her know, exactly how much we loved having her in our lives. RIP Terry, you will never be forgotten.
Our love, prayers & deepest sympathy go out to Art, their kids, grand-kids and of course, Terry’s beloved sisters.
Our deepest sympathy,
Barbara & Jack Rau

I have known Terry since we were young mothers and neighbors in Mt Pleasant. We played endless games of canasta together in the early days of our friendship and while she most often won, we talked about life. Terry was a good soul. She was positive and endearing. I found her support and kindness throughout our friendship a godsend. I could always count on her. Living in our little neighborhood we had each others backs and kept an eye on each others children. I am grateful we were friends at such a sweet time of life. Later, as we aged, we kept in touch and celebrated the births of our beautiful grandchildren. I will miss you, Terry. I will hold these memories in my heart until we meet again.
