Pictures from High School gymnastics.  Her smile and her spirit are what I'll remember most.  The smile is a window of your soul and you can see what a beautiful person she was.

Terri,
You have been a wonderful addition to our family from the beginning. 
I have so many fond memories of you and as I go back in my mind, from your courtship with Chris to seeing you as the Mother of the Bride, you are always there with a smile and a loving heart. I will not forget your good counsel to us on dealing with a hungry newborn and a tired mom after Joe's birth. Your loving attitude lives on in your wonderful children and grandchildren and you live on in our cherished memories. Rest in peace and in God's love.

Chris and family,  My heart is so grateful that we got to know Teresa study the Bible with her, and love you all.  We envy God because he has Teresa for company now.  We envy her because the pain is gone, and you know the Savior face to face!  We will be gone when the services are, but will think of your family that day and pray for you all for many more!

Teresa, you have given me the best gift of all, friendship.  Our friendship was developed by experiencing day-to-day interaction, some of life's ordinary and not so ordinary experiences. Sharing rides, pet sitting, walking, opinions and borrowing vanilla then running to our houses in p.j.'s with our hair sticking up, yet taking the time to chat about our day's activities, joys, concerns and laughter. Finally, knowing we could count on  each other in need and not feel too guilty about it.  You shared the happiness of your meeting and visits with each of the three grandchildren and their parents, too; Josh's accomplishments, his talents and visits home; Melanie's wedding and choosing the perfect mother's dress, preferred blue and shoes that didn't have too high of a heel; Greta developing into a beautiful woman, who loves and cares for horses and animals in general. Chris your loving husband and partner who brought laughter and joy to you and your family, and was there for you at a second's notice, so tender and gentle during your illness.  You are a true and accepting friend, a family member, who has a place in my heart that won't be replaced because Teresa, you raised the bar for honesty, integerty, kindness, acceptance and love.  Thank you my dear Teresa for giving the best gift of all, friendship.

Oh my gracious, to finally see this guest book sign in, really hits home.  
Terri was such a delightful and upbeat lady.  She always had a smile on her face. She was much loved and will truly be missed by the large Parker clan.
I fondly remember the night of the dress rehersal for Chris/Terri wedding.  Terri was such a beautiful bride-in-waiting.  
There are so many memories to numerous to mention.  I will ask the kids to submit any stories they might have.
Thanks for sharing Terri with the whole world.  She will be missed, but, she is now with our Most Precious Lord,  Blessed Mother  and our little grand daughter Skyla.  Terri has earned her angel wings.

To a much loved lady, you will be sorely missed.  Yet, you are now really home, and we will see you again on some bright future day.  In the meantime, my love and condolences go out to Chris, Joel, Sam, Joshua, Melanie, and Greta.  I am so sorry for your loss and my inability to be there to share this time and heartache with you.

With Love,

Uncle Tony
