I am so saddened to learn of the passing of another of my SMHS classmates. Terry was a wonderful woman. My deepest condolences to her family and other friends
Prayers and love to all…………………..
To me, Terry typified the St. Mary’s girl– smart, nice, multi-talented. Always a smile on her face and always a cheerful classmate at school. I looked up to her as one of the “upper classmen” and tried to follow her example. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will pray for her that God grant her eternal rest and peace with all the saints, and of course with her St. Mary’s companions!!
