I was going through our old yearbook, just yesterday. Stumbled on pages with pictures of us, doing what we did best laughing and having a good time. I thank God for allowing you to be a part of my life if only for a short while. But memories are constant and I thank God for blessing me with them of you!
Sadly missed but never forgotten!

My, how time flies, it's gone in the blink of an eye. But God so graciously gave us the gift of memories that no matter what the span of time we can remember every tiny little aspect of a love one, dear friend and confidant. Terri, you are very sadly missed but never, ever forgotten.
My dear friend, you will always hold a very special place in my heart. Love always.....
