I just learned of my dear friend’s passing.  I moved to Tampa in 1990 and  met Enid while working at USF.  She was my first, true friend in Tampa.  

My sincere condolences to Terry and family.  She was very passionate about life and always pursued her dreams despite her condition. 

I will always remember you, my friend.  Thank you for being a bright, shining light in this world.

So sorry to hear of Enid's passing. She was such a lovely girl. I only met her a handful of times but always found her to be warm and caring. Especially when my mom ended up in the hospital there in Florida for a couple months. Here's a pic of all of us for a family reunion. That's me in the middle there with Enid on my right. This was right before my mom had the aneurism.  Terry's mom and my mom are sisters. Thoughts and prayers are with you in loving memory of Enid.

Very sorry to hear about Enid. She was truly a sweet soul. One of the last visits I had in Florida was when Mary was in the hospital in grave condition. Enid wasn't feeling the best, but she came over to visit and was so supportive. She has a heart of gold and she expressed the most sincere sympathy and love for Mary as if she was her own mother. I'm sure her prayers were a big part in my mom's recovery. Enid will be missed by all she touched with her compassion.

Love,
The Hill Family

Hello Terry and family , My name is Jeff Hebert .
I was very close to Enid in a Secondlife .
We both played a virtual game called Secondlife.
I met her as a designer my avatars name is Shelby Monitor.
I design shapes and help people look their best here.
Very similar to what she did. 
Plaomma Casanova was her main avatar here .
We became very close and talked many things, she always said because my birthday was the same as Terry's she felt a bond because I am Aries as well. I was with her on her last day here the 27th of Dec. 
I had bought her a new hair, and we talked about her condition and how bad she hurting and having to crawl around. I told her she needs to go to hospital even after having the panic attack the first time. We both knew in our hearts this was the last time we would speak. I loved her so much as a friend. I an saddened and yet feel so much better she is no longer in pain. I am currently taking care of her store here. to make sure that things go smooth till I discuss with the owners of Secondlife how we will preserve her Legacy here. Her name will not be forgotten . But my Dove will Fly high and live forever in the hearts of all here . God Rest her soul . Stay strong Terry you are loved and I am always here for you as she was for me.

Terry,
I was so very sorry to hear about Enid's passing. Johnnie was thoughtful enough to let me know. I thought her obituary/memorial was fantastic. It told a little about her life in such a charming and beautiful way. I'm sure she'll be greatly missed. 

Take care,
Joe 


Sitting in her park she made for her sister. we shared many memories here. I bought her many things with sunflowers and always talked about her love for her. Very special place. 

I bought her an outfit, I always bought her gifts. I made her smile yet yell at me a bit cause she could not gift me anything. She gave me free rent at her store. All her money went to pay bills here.
But just to make her smile was the greatest gift a friend could give. 

I worked with Enid at Barbizon for years. She was such a wonderful person to get to know and work with. She was always so kind, fashionable and had a heart of gold. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. My prayers to her family and to her husband. 

Enid was a very nice person. I was very happy the last time that we spoke. May God give the family all the peace, comfort and strength at this time. Sending a big hug.

I will cherish her memory.

My sincerest condolences to Enid's family. I knew her from the online communities for about 23 years. She was kind, unselfish and helpful to a great number of people all over the world. A truly amazing person. May she rest in peace.

Hermosa mujer por dentro y por fuera, nunca olvidaré tu don de gentes, tu espíritu desinteresado y tu deseo de ayudar a cualquier persona sin importar quien fuera. Gran maestra, aprendí que la humildad debe estar por delante, ahora que no estás te busco en todas partes, olvidé mirar al cielo y ver que eres esa paloma que vuela alto. Ahora eres feliz con tu madre y tu hermana que tanto extrañaba. Un día podré darte ese abrazo que no pudimos darnos aquí en la tierra. Todo mi  amor, MariaSolas 

Terry. Truly lost a sweet soul and home with the Lord. I remember giving her a hug at the Longboat Key Club while watching you play a tennis match. Awesome lady. Love Chris Pagac
