Sam, Dana Lea and Cheri and Terri's kids and grandkids, So very sorry to see the loss of your little sister Terri Sue. I'd only run into her a few times in recent years, but I have a lot of vivid memories of all our growing up together in Xenia. We all got to know each other more because of get togethers when our parents played pinochle together. Remember one in particular of us all hiding our heads under a blanket on your floor while watching The Blob on tv back then at your house north of town. Sweet memories. Y'all are all in my prayers for comfort and strength during times ahead without her. Rest well, sweet Terri.
So sorry to hear of Terri’s passing. She was such a sweet person. She was about 6 years younger than me but we became friends because my brother Earl dated her sister Dana in high school and we sat together at many a sports events where I taught her such important things as how to blow a bubble. Through the years we saw each other and it was always a good time. Rest in Peace and Glory to the Lamb!
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends of Terri.
So sorry for your loss prayers for the family
So sorry for your loss. Comforting prayers to you all. I'll always remember Terri, she was fun to work with. Fly high my friend
