I'm so sorry for your loss... I knew "Terri" as a young girl and spent so much time at the Williams Home, as her sister Tomie and I were best friends.
May the Lord comfort you during this difficult time

Such beautiful words for a beautiful person. Terri you were my brothers best friend and his forever soul mate and he will miss and love you forever. I am so grateful for the love you brought to him and the memories that you both shared. I will always remember how you n Bobby welcomed family and friends to the 4th of July firework show that lit up the sky of Powhatan. One special memory I think was so special was where you planned Bobby's party with the DJ, corn hole, food, family and friends. Bobby had no clue!!! You will be missed by so many. You were a special gem in my brothers life that I know he will treasure forever! We all love you and will hold on to memories we got to share with you. Sandra Thomas

What beautiful words. Terri was so special. I will miss our private messages on Facebook and shared pictures. She was my brother's best friend and his forever soul mate. Their relationship was so special. They shared their home to family and friends for Bobby's firework show on the 4th of July that lit the skies of Powhatan. Terri you were so very special and I am so grateful to you for the love that you brought to Bobby and shared with so many. You will be missed but I know you are watching over your loved ones and Bobby and helping get through this difficult time. Love you.

Terri was one of a kind and the best "step" mom anyone could ask for. She was a straight shooter & gave honest advice. I will miss her so much! She treated my siblings & myself like her own from the start and spoiled my son. Her & my dad had the kind of marriage many admire including my self- a lot of laughter and a whole lot of love. She will be missed more than words can explain. Love you- Until we meet again,
