I’m so blessed to have claimed Teri as my sister-in-law. Always smiling and very wise she would always step up to host family gatherings or contribute to our out of town celebrations! She will be missed by everyone who knows her love and strength. Rest peacefully, Teri.
It was our pleasure to have Teri as a member of our extended family. A true lady with a loving and blessed personality that was infectious to those of us who knew Teri. She laid the foundation for a beautiful family and was a tough warrior angel throughout her final struggles. She is truly loved and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace with the good Lord and those who have gone before you.
Teri was a lovely person who will be greatly missed. Her grace and kindness were evident even when battling illness.
I was so blessed to have Teri as a sister-in-law. I learned so much from her about life, grace, kindness and how to throw a dinner party. Her smile was like the sun and her personality was electric. I can still hear her laugh. At Van’s service, she hugged me fiercely and loudly proclaimed, “I love you so much!” I knew then that I would make it through the service and I will remember that always. Like Van, she’ll miss Landon Van’s birth, but now he will have two guardian angels to watch over him. I love you so much Teri. Rest well until we meet again on that golden shore.
Pat, My heart goes out to you and your sons. I will always remember Terri as a sweet and kind person. She made you feel as tho you were part of the family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless and May she rest in peace. ❤
