She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

I was so shocked to see that Terry has passed away, she and I emailed for a couple of years and we became friends.

The last email I had fro her was May 10th when she said the last 3 chemos she had, put her in the hospital.

She was a gentle and sweet lady and I wish her soul peace, and my condolences to her family.
