Terry was my next door neighbor growing up in Sunnyvale.  She was one of my babysitters and such a sweetheart.  I thought she was so cool too!  :)   Her exploits on the stage of Fremont High School made her one of my very first heroes.  I knew a star!!!  I send my condolences to all who loved her.

Terri and I met in 1974 in California.  She was working one of her 5 jobs to earn money for acting school in New York City.  She was demonstrating Weber grills at a local hardware store.  My kids wanted hot dogs from the grill.  We visited while the hot dogs cooked.  My wife was a little miffed that I took so long to get the kids hot dogs.  Nearly 18 years later I was at a Country Western dance club in New York and noticed a very attractive young woman enter the club.  I knew I had to meet her.  She sat down at the table next to me and I started a conversation.  Even though she said she was there to meet someone, I managed to get her number and give her mine.  We started dating and were together for a little over 20 years.  She had a very strong and determined soul.  She even was handing out exercise advise and giving workout advise to the hospital staff until just a few days before she passed.  She was not in distress and passed peacefully.  I ask her if she was ready to go with Jesus, she nodded her head yes and slipped away.

I've known Terry all my life because she was my cousin.  Our mothers were sisters.  Terry had more knowledge about our Italian background because she lived close to our grandparents and visited them every week. 

Terry's mom (Auntie Mary) would always brag about how beautiful her Terry was.  She was so proud of her girl.  

Terry and I were trying to hook up on the phone before she became so ill, but unfortunately we were never able to catch up on old times.  I will truly miss her but know that she is in heaven singing and entertaining our moms and all the other souls in heaven.

I've known Terri since Kindergarten--she was so fun and funny!  I used to go over to her house and pick up the walnuts that fell from her tree onto the sidewalk, before her mom could come out and yell at me to stop.  

Also, in 7th grade(1967), Terri and another girl named Buffy would always sing the "Bonnie and Clyde" theme song in P.E. and drive everybody crazy with it!  I'll miss Terri...

My thoughts about Terri go all the way back to high school, where she was a vibrant and attractive student. What a great creative spirit she had! Also, she was kind and open and clearly looking forward to her future...

I will always remember Terri as a guiding light, a beacon.  She was talented, beautiful and most important, a good friend.  We all will miss her but have the best memories we and I could ever have.  Now she will lead the way with the angels.
