Terry,

Ill always remember you as a bundle of joy! You were the

best baby, adolescent, and young adult anyone could have ever

dreamt of raising. You were an obedient and happy child.

It was a joy to watch you grow to become the most loving,

caring and kind daughter. We saw you grow physically and

spiritually into a strong and courageous woman.

You were there for your Dad and me at every beck and call.

Even during your own illness, you would ask, Why didnt

you call me? I could not help but admire your strength as you

fought your battle. You shared your wisdom and continued to

give us all advice till the end.

Terry, you were a priceless jewel and we thank God for the

gift of YOU!

Be not weary in your serving;

Do your best for those in need;

Kindness will be rewarded

By the Lord who prompts the deed. ~Anonymous
