I'm sorry to hear of your loss of this beautiful, kind woman. Aunt Terri had such a warmth to her and I always enjoyed visiting with her and it made me smile to think she was such a great friend and Auntie to Jamie and Brandon especially during their early days in Rochester. Loved sitting on her back porch and listen to her stories and see how her face would light up around her family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family at this time. It has been a tough year for you guys. Know that she is in a better place and at peace now. She will forever be watching over all of you patiently waiting until she gets to see you again. Hugs to all of you during this difficult time.
Jeanne, Janet and Linda,

Dear Tom, Katie, Johnny, Mark, Chris, Jean, Linda, Janet,
So terribly sorry for the loss of your courageous and loving wife, mother and sister. Terri so enjoyed life and was so fun to be around. She had an unbelievably hard row to hoe these last few years, that I can't even imagine, and she fought with such determination and strength. Through all the pain and suffering she never stopped loving you and you her. Terri was so blessed to have such a loving husband and family. Tom, you were always there for her. You loved her so much, and she you. You are truly an inspriation to men everywhere on how to be not a good, but a great husband. Katie, these last few weeks you spent with you mom were a God send and lifted her spirits so. Jonny, Mark & Chris your visits these last months meant beyond words the world to her. Jean, Linda and Janet, I don't think there was a day that you went without talking to each other. Terri will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
God bless
