  1. Terrie was one of the best friends that i had. I will forever miss her and she was an amazing person and a breath of fresh air. Anyone who knew her, knew she was very compassionate and very giving. Rest well my friend; heaven awaits another angel.

  2. When I think about my cousin Terrie, I think about the way she used to laugh. She had a really funny laugh. I’d hear it and wanna laugh with her regardless of whether what was going on was actually funny ( in my estimation) or not. I totally wish my sweet cousin a peaceful rest and a joyous reunion with all those who have surrendered their mortal-ness before her..#Team Terrie

  3. I have nothing but fond memories of my cousin.. She was a beautiful, gentle and kind person! She loved reading (Harlequin Romance) novels.. When we lived with my Auntie Alice in Great Lakes, Illinois house I loved to sit with Terrie when she played the piano…. ❤️🙏❤️
