Terri very much saved my life over the last 10 years. I had just phased out of care (after her encouragement that I was ready) recently and I am heartbroken to hear of her passing. Susannah, I am so very sorry for your loss. She spoke so proudly of you and the girls.

Terri was very important to me the past 8 years of my life. She guided me out of the darkest times and held my hand through the most difficult things I had to face. She changed my life and I will always be so grateful for and deeply cherish my time with her. She was truly one of a kind; such a wonderful, selfless, caring, compassionate person. I will miss her so, so very much.

I will miss Terri being in my life. She is the second strong, loving, compassionate beautiful woman I have lost this year. The first being my Mom. You taught me so much in the time we had together. I am a much better, stronger, self assured person because you touched my life. I never felt judged by you or stupid because you had to remind me or and over again that I had no control over how others felt about me. Their thought and feeling weren’t the truth of who I am. Especially when  it came to my brother. 
I never got to say goodbye to you or tell you how much you meant to me. I have a feeling that you know now. You touched people’s lives in a very important way. Somehow it felt that it made you happy to help people through their darkest hours. I’ll miss you,Terri

Terri, I wish I would have known my cousin better. She was selfless and was always available when you needed her. She offered to help me when I lost Larry to the nursing home and Alzheimers. Always offering her wealth of knowledge and care. She will be greatly missed by many.
 
My condolences to her entire family.

Terri was one of my supervisors when I was on my psychology internship in PA. She was a skilled therapist and wonderful mentor. We maintained a friendship on social media and I have been grateful to have her in my life. She will be greatly missed.

Thank you to everyone taking the time leave condolences and share their experience with Terri.   For anyone planning to attend the services – please know that Terri specifically talked about her desire that people dress in beautiful colors and not in just dark clothes.  Obviously, wear what makes you comfortable – but please feel free to wear any color you wish!

Terri, you were such a comfort and blessing to me and my family when our son and DIL died. You were always available to me personally and helped me process my grief and questions. You are a treasure and I am so glad you are no longer in pain, you are with your mom and dad. I will miss you, cousin. Thank you for your willingness to help the broken and hurting. 💔
