I met Terry when I was 15, being closer to Justin's age than hers but it didn't matter. We became close friends right away and her home became my 2nd. Even as I grew up to have a family of my own, we stayed in touch here and there and I had the pleasure of coaching her granddaughters in cheering. Terry loved her family with every ounce of her being. She always did. Her siblings and her children, nieces, nephews, and grandkids. This woman lived and loved for family. And she was such a wonderful friend. In this lifetime, you don't get to meet too many truly nice people... good ones, all the way to the core. But Terry sure was one of them. This is a huge loss that extends far and wide. The only sliver of solace I could conjure up from her being gone from those that love her is that Terry has now been reunited with Gary, whom we all know she loved and missed dearly these last few years.
Until we meet again, my friend. My condolences to the entire family. <3
