I have known her daughter Heather for a long time, and I could see what an amazing, loving, and fun person her Mom was. I can see the love and nurturing that Heather received from her amazing mother come out in her mothering abilities! I am sorry for losing this amazing light in many people’s lives. I am thinking and praying for them during this time.
Oh Terry, I will miss your smiling face. When we met in 1980, we became friends for life, so many wonderful, crazy memories that make me smile. You deserve a nice, long rest. Until we meet again my beautiful friend.
Brian and I send our love & deepest sympathies to, Tammy, Kelly, Heather, Alvah and the rest of the family.
Dear Kelly, David & Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother.
Sincerely,
Caroline Ardito

Such a nice, fun loving woman Terry was. I had the pleasure of working with her many years ago at Actor’s Colony. Hard worker, fun and upbeat. My sympathies to Alvah and family.
