This is mom Terri I miss you and love you for eternity.
You gave it a good fight and now the pain has went away and you are in a better place. I am learning everyday how to move on with life without you and I will say it is hard but I can do it for you.

Terri was a loving person who always saw the best in people. I will never forget our lunch outings with Granny Beck and taking bets on what she was going to say. I know you are no longer in pain and surrounded by loving family who went before you. Tell granny Beck hi for me and to behave in public as we always did.
Love,

To lose a child a sister or brother is one of the hardest things to go through and even harder on the parents, we as parents are not to bury our children but this happens more and more. Terri, I know your family and I remember you and I know that you will not be far from your families side,in one way or another you will be with them,no they cannot see you it will be the little things that will catch them off guard. Your included in my nightly prayers and another for me to say good night too. For as long as I speak your name and remember you will keep you alive with in me as I have always done with my family and close friends and yes I still talk to each of them but that is the way I am. RIP Terri you will be forever missed.

We are sorry to hear of Terri’s passing. She was outgoing and warm. And as one can imagine she was the first Ross we became acquainted with when we became neighbors. She is missed. Our prayers and condolences to Marshall and Janiice and family.

No words however kindly meant, can sooth your pain away. We hope the love around you, memories, and heartfelt prayers of those who mourn with you, help you through today. May you, in time, also find some comfort in knowing that God has promised to “swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8), and to use his Son to resurrect our dear loved ones who have passed away (John 5:28). May those promises somehow strengthen you.
