An awesome woman, strong, loving, compassionate, sweet, and funny. She could light up a room with her smile, and make you feel better with a bit of humor. I have always felt fortunate to know this family. May each of you find comfort in your loving memories. Aunt Terry, may you Rest In Peace, and bask in the embrace of your many loved ones gone before. You will hold a special place in my heart.
