Terri, Gary Wayne, Beck & Toni, on Hillside, 1972

Terri Lynn. Sister  you are missed beyond words  . I really miss hearing  Hey Bubba!!  You big dummy!! Isn’t that funny? Something that use to annoy me I wish I could hear again. Gina, Heather, dad and of course mom misses you so much. Mom didn’t only loose a daughter but her best friend. Gina lost a sister more than a sister In law and you two  were ride or die.  Gina still  tears up sometimes when we talk about you and your crazy self. There is nothing like the bond of a little brother and big sister I came to find out. I feel so alone in  our immediate family without you or Jody. We didn’t get to know Jody but he was our brother regardless. I’m still going to do what we planned on doing together for Jody too. I  know how I feel about that and also know you felt the same..  Gina and Heather are the best. I can’t count the times I picked up my phone to call you only to realize that I couldn’t. We all still talk to you as you were here and we always celebrate your birthday like we always have. Gina, Heather, mom and I keep up with little Ricky’s grave  like we always have. I feel good about where you are. After you passed I went with mom to the viewing and you were so at peace with yourself I knew where you were and knew you were going to be better off than us. I thought how you were with Little Ricky.  I know how much you looked forward to  holding him again. Then there was Grandmother and all of our other family that you loved so much. You have the prettiest  little grand daughter you’d be so proud. She is by far the prettiest baby I’ve  ever seen.
We try to do spoil her like you would and we are with her as much as possible. And your step daughter Madi. I know she wasn’t a step daughter to you but you. She was your baby too. She is the best mom you’d be really proud of her and Dak . They are both in church living for God. I love you and miss you and look forward to seeing you again one of these days!

Miss you and think of you often.
Your friend, 
Mary

I am so saddened to learn of Terri's passing and pray that God comforts her family and friends during this sad time. I did not know her personally but I'm sure that she was a dear and wonderful lady. I am a huge fan of her father's and with him being such a wonderful human being, I am sure that Terri was just as special...God bless all of you.

I just now sent a message and I misspelled Terri's name, please make that correction if possible.  Thanks.

My memory of Terry is on FB for a short time and I am a great fan of her dad, Gene Watson.  I could tell by her posts she loved her mother and dad dearly.  My thoughts and prayers for the family and friends. She was a beautiful lady from her pictures and I think she looked a lot like her mother.  Mattie and Gene, I am so sorry for your loss.  Praying that you will have peace and comfort in the days, weeks, and months to come.  Love to you and your family.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of her death.  We were only Facebook friends but I always enjoyed her post.  Prayers for her family.

I have never been able to be in the room with Terri Lynn without seeing the image of her walking across the yard to Grandmother's house with long cascading curls when she was just a little girl.  She was the prettiest little girl and a beautiful woman.  Love you very much Terri and will see you again.

To the family of Terri you are in my thoughts and prayers.  May Gods peace and mercy fill your days to come.  God bless you all.

Prayers go out to Terri's family. Only knew her from FB, but she was a sweet and beautiful person. She will be missed❤

I met Terri on Facebook from being a loving and faithful follower of her father Gene Watson. She was such a kind and caring person and I will remember her always. My prayers to Gene, her mother, husband, daughter, brother, and other family and friends. She will be greatly missed. Fly high with the angels.

Terri Lynn was so dear to our heart. We love her like we love our own children. We will have an empty spot in our hearts 💕.
She could make you smile  by just walking into the room. She could sit there and say something with a "straight" face and I would burst out laughing. We will miss her terribly. 

To the family of Terri Lynn, may God grant y’all some peace through this difficult time. Life is sad, and it’s hard to understand when we lose a loved one, I’ll be praying for you all, I’m so sorry.

I never met Terri in person but met her on social media Facebook we have laughed and shared just like we had always known one another I will miss you Terri and Love You 😘 

Terri sent me a text for my birthday (December 13th) teasing me about being old.  She always said that I was older than her.  It was our little joke since she was 9 months older than me.  I always reminded her that she was older than me.   I have read that text over and over.  My heart is hurting so bad for you all. I loved her so much and I love you all.
