Hard to believe you have been in Heaven this long Terri.
Sorry you are celebrating another Thanksgiving above. 
You are missed by many.
I remember your smile & kindness.
Dawn Watts

Still hard to believe you went to Heaven so long ago. You are missed a lot by so many. Take care of yourself every year up there Terri. Hugs my Friend 

Still sad that you passed away too young. You  still had a lot life left. Bet you're looking down from Heaven & perhaps guiding your Family throughout the years. You are missed by many who've met you. Hugs sent your way 


Wow... don't know the details of what Happened but shocked about it.  Will say a prayer.  You loved  your red corvette. It's amazing how we lose touch with our friends but never forget them. You will be in my prayers. 

You are still missed on this Earth Terri. Can't believe the years that have went by since you went to Heaven 😓 Know you are still watching over your Family from above. Hugs sent up to you 

You were a beautiful mother, friend and person inside and out. We spent so many special moments together I could never forget. Still seems like I'm stuck in a dream I can't wake up from. I wish I had the words to tell you how much you are loved and missed. I am so thankful I turned out to be just like you! I love you to infinity and beyond- until we are together again, please watch over me.

Keep expecting to hear your voice and laughter at work but your not there. Miss you so much my friend. Still seems surreal that your gone. It's not the same without you...

Dear friend I miss you so much.  There's time like tonight that I can't hold back the tears.  We had some great times and I hold those memories close. You and Mark have a wonderful daughter and what a beautiful service she prepared for you. I'll miss our dancing and singing in your house, sleep overs and just laughing and talking. I miss you girlfriend.  I hope you don't mind me carrying on our talks.  I shall always need your voice whispering in my ear giving me advice or swift kick. I'm not ready to say goodbye,  so I guess it's love you girlfriend and  thanks for always being there for me.

Dear Terri,  you always were a beautiful ladie inside and out and I will miss you! I pray for all your family members to find some comfort in the time to come. RIP sweet Terri <3 <3

My Dearest Terri I am heart broken and so sad that you were called home so early.
I met you when we lived in "the hood" together. I have so many memories and stories to cherish. You dated my brother for years and I prayed you would be my sister in law. That didn't work out but you kept ME. You have always had this incredible energy and infectious smile. Your laugh makes me giggle. Even our parents dated and well that didn't work out so well but you still kept ME. The best way I can describe our friendship is that you know all my secrets and you still love me. You will forever be in my heart. 
It touched my heart to see so many people at your services today. It doesn't surprise me that you were loved by many. I'm not sure when I'll see you again but know you will be close by as one of my guardian angels. I love you so much!

I worked with Terri as my direct partner for the last six years. She was a tempestuous little fireball if you crossed her, but she was so fun to be with the rest of the time. She made the hard days fly by. Terri took care of us with treats, and jokes, and kept us guys in line, even though we teased her non-stop. You could always count on her getting you back, and ALWAYS getting the last word. It has been very, very quiet here since she passed. She was a kind, and giving soul. She will be missed forever.

My Dear friend, I know exactly how you would begin sharing our memories if you were writing to me, so I will tell the story of how our friendship started.  
I was working at the Lottery, region 4.  I was in the office by myself and as you walked past the door you said hello.  When you realized I was alone you came in, sat down and the rest is history.  Over the years we realized we had probably crossed paths many times.  I clearly remember one Saturday morning you calling me asking in my Daughter went to Pleasant Glade Elementary.  I thought this an odd question, but I said yes.  Terri asked me how my daughter spelled her name.  Since it is unique, I told her.  She went on to explain she was cleaning Mari's room and came across an 'autograph' book and while reading through it she saw the entry my daughter wrote to Mari.  We laughed at how ironic it was.  My daughter wrote something to the effect that she thought Mari was nice and fun.  She signed it,please call me Cait.
Then Terri asked me if I ever saw 'Clifford the Big Red Dog' at the school.  When I told her of course, she told me it was her.  I remember thinking what a great Mom to bring a character that Mari loved to life for Mari and her friends.

My Dear friend, God took you too soon.  My faith tells me there is a plan, but my heart hurts and well, you know what I would say to His plan...
Thank you for listening, advising and laughing with me.  Your support got me me though some tough trials.
As we always said when ending a call or ending an evening out, I love you.

I am one of the lucky ones to have met Terri.Met her in 6th grade.Had classes on & off with Terri throughout our school years.Had some pleasant talks & laughs with her at some high school get togethers over the last few years.Was always nice to see what she was up to on Facebook! Going to miss Terri who was so full of life.She had a wonderful,pleasant& positive personality & attitude with a lot of laughter!She will be greatly missed at such a young age.Many Blessings to her family, friends & co-workers.R.I.P. Terri as you look down to your family with your loving smile & heart...

Terri sat in my chair as a customer to do her hair one day long ago and she and I hit it off immediately!  She became a true friend to me. She loved to laugh and have a good time! It was admirable how dedicated to her work, her daughter, and her home she was! She loved all animals, even feeding all the neighborhood squirrels ands birds! When I was thinking of moving across country she stepped up after losing her own kitty and said she would take my 3 kitties and love them as much as I do...she gave them a wonderful home and treated them like royalty! 
I still am so shocked and sad that she had to leave so soon. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her :(
I will miss you Terri, my friend, my sister and momma to my kids! You truly were an angel on earth and your light and love will be missed, but treasured by many! Rest in peace girlfriend! We will eventually meet again and have a margarita in heaven together! 
Love and prayers go to the family having to deal with the absence of the strong, loving, and caring person you were. My heart will always hold our memories we made over the years! I will treasure them for the rest of my time here on earth  ?? love you my friend

Her life was taken too soon.  May she rest in peace.

Terri i love you so much i will be missing you forever

Life was taken too soon but will never be forgotten.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you my long time friend!  You can call on on me any time!!!

To the family of this dear sweet girl. My Prayers are with you. RIP Terry. Great memories from years past. RIP

Terri was a wonderful friend and a great neighbor.  Her humor, loyalty, lively spirit and beauty will be greatly missed by everyone.  She can't be replaced and we shall remember her in our hearts and prayers.  Blessings upon her memory.

Terri - You will always have a place in my heart, and I know you're with Marilyn, your Mom, in Heaven.  You will always be missed by your family and many, many friends. Rest in peace my beautiful niece.

There are no words in the world to let Terri know how much she was loved and admired...  She was strong, loyal and beautiful.. I thank her for the help and time she gave to me while battling cancer. I don't know what I would have done if she was not there to help me..  I will miss her so much..  She is truly an angel. Rest in peace Terri, you will be missed by many..  I love you tonzzz...

I met Terri at work 24 years, but my memories of her are outside of work. Her prompting a woman she knew to ask me out, who became my wife. A couple years later, Terri's daughter would play with our daughter while us parents were eating Mexican at a local restaurant. My life would be immeasurably less if Terri hadn't befriended me at work. I will treasure that always.

I am so very sorry to hear about terri.  She was a wonderful person who deeply cared about her family. Her daughter was the apple of her eye- she was so proud of her! I had the privilege of meeting terri at work.  I am so very sorry about her family's great loss. She was a special person who will be greatly missed.

Terri, I am left as many are, missing you and in shock that you have left us. You were always a good friend to me. I will always remember the last time we crossed paths at the Capitol Mall. You were as usual, happy and enjoying preparations for your daughters wedding. I will miss your kind and gentle and honest spirit. We will continue here until our day comes. God Bless you and the loved ones you leave behind. " For now " I believe you will all be reunited when the time comes.  Love you Terri

To the family of Terri,  I am so sorry for your loss. Terri will be missed big time as a friend and coworker. I will certainly miss all the talks about IVR.

Terri, you will be deeply missed.R.I.P. my friend. It was a pleasure knowing you.

We remember with a smile what was and cry for what could have been. Many miles and few words but my heart always felt like Terri was an older sister to me.  I was given the gift of her middle name, I just wish I would have been give the gift of more time with her. Mari and all missing Terri, you have our deepest sympathies from your MN cousins.

Rest in Peace, Terri, we will miss you, but don't worry, Scott and I will be there for your little girl.  Sending our love to you and those you left behind.

To the family of Terri - I am so sorry for your loss - words can't express she will be missed.
