Terry was a family friend of my parents and me. She would take me out for lunch when I was only ten or twelve years old! She ate all meat as I recall!, and was a dear lifelong friend. I am saddened to learn of her passing as I had been hoping to visit with her again.

I am so sorry to hear of Terry's death. We knew each other from meeting while walking our dogs and our membership in a book club. Her home was filled with her art work and that of others. She painted the view from her studio window overlooking the East River and Carl Schurz Park as well as what was in her mind's eye. She spoke her mind and what a good one it was. The breadth and depth of her knowledge of the art world was amazing. Those of us who came to know her will miss her greatly. I send my heart-felt condolences to her family.

I did not know Terry Davis, but I know of her from my mother who lived in the same building. I'm glad to hear she died peacefully. My mother died in October.
