To my dear sister, Terry,
It all seems surreal and even though we knew this was the outcome, it doesn't make it any easier. The only thing that makes it easier is knowing you are no longer in pain.
I have so many memories of us as we grew up. i remember our 5 week vacation and how you and I were bunk mates in the station wagon because there wasn't enough room in the camper for all 6 of us. I remember riding our bikes shortly after that trip- and you taking a nasty fall over the handle bars while coming down a hill- cut open your chin on the fender.. and me knocking on doors carrying you and crying for help from people. once stitched up - you said that your jaw hurt- turns out you'd broken your jaw in the tumble. Then spent time in Williamsport with your jaw wired shut. fun times with you being a selective eater.
I remember coming home from college and getting a big hug from you. We had an unusual bond as sisters, not one that many sisters have. we weren't particularly close, probably because of our age difference, who knows. All I know is that you are my sister and I never told you enough how much I loved you. I see you in your daughter and son who are still here with us.
we all know you are with Nanny, our grandparents, our uncles, our cousin and your niece. keep them laughing until we join you and laugh with you all. that's what we will miss the most- your laughter and spunk. Until we see each other again- we'll carry on your memory and never let people forget just how special you are and how you touched our lives. thank you for sharing your time on earth with us. We are all better for having had you in our lives.
I love you
Marie

Terry, you were an inspiration to all of us. Your spunk your loving ways and your magic fingers that could make any hair style a master piece. There wasn't anything you couldn't do or achieve. You were and always will be a special part of our family. There are no words that I can say to take away the heartache we all feel with you gone. We all love you Terry. You be happy now your are a beautiful angel as beautiful as you were on earth. love you, Cindy, Kathy, Christina, Jerry, & Billie
