Terrin I think of you often. I remember your final words to me....Jessica be careful, you have a beautiful heart, don't let this big world change you...I love you....If I had only known that would be the last time we grabbed a beer together, laughed together, talked together. I went by your grave today. Sat on your bench under the tree. I miss you so much, but I know you watching me from heaven. Love you girly.

hey you little sunshine! ive been thinking of you lately. just thought i would write and tell you just how much i miss your words of wisdom. such a young lady, yet so wise. im sure you already met my babies in heaven. you were the first one i thought of when i had to think of who would take care of them. i picture you guiding them on an adventurous tour. i look forward to the day when i can see you and my boys again. until we meet again, keep a watch over my boys and all of us here.

Dad, Adne & Shawn,

I know the pain you and all the family are feeling right now is too great for words... Know that through the wonderful words these people have left that Terrin has left an eternal mark on so many people from all over... Her memory will live on in our hearts forever... May the peace of God continue to be with you all... I love you and am but a phone call away... May Terrin rest in peace and continue to watch over you all from Heaven...

Terrin was like my kid. I feel like I've lost one of my troops and it's very hard for me. I will never forget the dedication and the enthusiasm that Terrin had. Her attitude was always positive and always uplifting. She relentlessly tackled and achieved every goal I ever knew her to pursue. She had the most sincere and inviting smile, I’ll never forget that smile. She made you feel like no matter what, every thing was going to be alright. And I wish, like Terrin, I only had the smile or the words to make everything “feel alright” for her family. She was brave, intelligent, and compassionate. This was the wonderful woman that I had the privilege of befriending. I regret that I lost touch with her after moving away from Tampa. I want everyone to know that she was truly one in a million and I thank God for the time he allowed me to spend with her.

Well I don't know really what to say .... Our paths came together one day when we were young . then they seperated , I went to the Army you went into the ROTC . Then one day we met again . Hanging out, just relaxing and chillin'. Next thing I know ,I don't speak to you for a week and your in Heaven . I suppose it's better there though . Have fun just like you always do and know that i'll miss you as will everyone else . One day we'll meet again .

I did not have the honor of meeting Terrin. But as i read thru what family and friends have to said about her it give me a picture of a beautiful young woman who touch the hearts of those who have the privilege of meeting her.A young woman who was a good friend, a good niece and a good dauhgter.It is true she is no longer with you and she will be missed very much.That is why I will like to exhort each one of you to remember those beautiful moments that you have the oportunity to shared with her. May the Grace,Love and Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

We'll miss porch parties, sitting out on random couches in the parking lot, deep conversation, stupid chick flicks, and you just dropping by after work. Mostly, though, we'll just miss you.

Although we did not have the pleasure of meeting Terrin, we have been friends with her Aunt Adnery for 18 years. Through that friendship we found out what a bright and wonderful person Terrin was. It is our loss that we never had a chance to meet her in person. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Terrin and her family.

With this time, cherish those thoughts of the good times shared with Terrin. She was great cadet with many aspirations in life and wanted to serve her country. We were lucky enough for her to spend a short time with us in Air Force ROTC at University of South Florida. My thoughts and prayers go to the families who have lost loved ones.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to both familes of Terrin and Aileen.



I worked with her mother before we both had any children. My daughter played with Terrin and I've kept in touch with her mother, except for this past year.



I have many treasured memories of both Terrin and Aileen.
