Terry was such a wonderful person and friend. There is seldom a day that passes that I do not think of her and remember her wonderful voice on the phone, her beautiful smile, her joy in being remembered, the wonderful experiences we shared when we taught together as team teachers. And she loved her family so very much. Please know that she will always live in my heart!

Terry and I were team teachers at Bushey Drive Elementary School many years ago and we became very close friends. She was a remarkable person -- so talented and so kind. Our students loved her and so did/do I. She adored her son Chris and his bride Claire and was devoted to her husband Charlie. God bless you, Terry. You will forever live on in my heart!!!

Mrs. Testa was a wonderful and kind teacher to both my daughters. She always had a huge smile and I will always remember her elegance and excitement for the Butterfly Ceremony! May you rest in peace.

Mrs. Testa was my daughter's teacher and I'm so glad she was! Her cheerfulness, warmth, calm demeanor, and positive outlook made her a delight to work with as a parent and volunteer throughout the school year. Many blessings upon her family. She will be deeply missed.

Terry was a kind and loving second grade teacher to our twins. She encouraged their love of reading and helped them grow in confidence. We will miss her kind and loving presence.

Mrs. Testa was my 3rd grade teacher, and I will never forget the way she used to call all of her students button, or the way she always said hi to me with a huge smile in the school hallway. What an amazing person.

I remember Ms. Testa from when I was in third grade at Cold Spring ES. She was so patient, caring, and a wonderful teacher. The world is less brighter without her.
