Terrie and Rick have been friends of mine for many, many years. Terrie was always so generous and caring, and she often brought presents and treats for my dog when they visited me. We will all miss her.
Rest in peace, Terrie.
I did not know this lovely lady, but it makes me sad to see no entries after reading the remarkable achievements she scored in life. If I am so fortunate to earn Heaven one day, perhaps I shall be blessed in being able to meet her.
Terrie, may you Rest In Peace in the everlasting presence of God and all Heavenly beings, and may God grant His care, comfort and mercy to your family and loved ones.
