I am so sadden to hear of Terri's passing. We grew up together as backyard neighbors. Went to school together. Our parents were great friends. Terri was my Maid of Honor at my wedding. We drifted apart through the years but I thought of her often. Gone too soon. May you rest in peace & fly high now Angel. Love Diane (Dowker) Schneider

My husband Jose Marini Jr. and I would like to express how very sorry we are to hear about the passing of Terri. We both worked with her for several years and we loved her. She made a lot of home made blankets for our daughter before she was born,she was such a hard worker so i felt very special that she took what very little free time she had and thought about our daughter and that's because she was such a beautiful and giving lady. We had lost contact with her after leaving the hotel but we always thought about her. We are sending all of our Love, Hugs and Prayers to Terri's children, family and friends. Terri you take good care of all those Angel Babies that come into Heaven way too soon, we know how much you love all the little children. Jose and I feel very blessed to have met you and we hope you rest easy now in the hands of the Lord. You were a wonderful person that will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
