Such a tragedy Tom.  I heard from a mutual friend about the passing of your wife and life spirit, Teri.  What a difficult and untimely experience for anyone.  I wish you the best as you are moving forward trying to figure it all out and come out okay.  Take care.  N

Tom I never met you, but I have known Terri since we started grade school at Washington elementary in SSP.  She was a wonderful friend who always brought humor and honesty to her friendships.  We played a lot of tennis through the jr. High and high school years.  I love her passion and competitiveness.  She was a great friend...and a great person...but I have a feeling you know all this.  My condolences for your loss.  We have all lost a great friend

Tom,Nancy,Mike,David,and Bones. We are shocked to hear of Teri's passing. We met Terri when we moved 1 house away from you,she must have been 9. What a cute little girl and soo nice. She was quite intelligent but never bragged about it. She was our girl's best babysitter(sorry David). She was like another daughter to us. We are so glad that Teri and Tom found each other and had a loving marriage. We are also glad that she found an occupation that she really enjoyed. She is in a better place, but she will surely be missed. Love, Kathy and John Whitson

Auntie Teri, We will miss you and your strawberry jello. It was the best! We still sing the church songs from the Sing-Along Bible Songs book you gave us when we were little. Love Emma and Lucas

Teri, We will miss you so much!  You always made our Christmas Eve special, with all that you did and your true Christmas spirit.  I will miss your sense of humor, and the laughs we shared together. Heaven's light now shines brighter! Love, Stacy

Tom my prayers go out to you at this time.  Just remember that God gave us memories to always have our love ones near.

Teri,
I am having a hard time understanding all of this!! You have had a great impacted in my life. You taught me how to play tennis, drive a car, drove me to Perkins for a job interview and most importantly you taught me how to laugh just to name a few.  
You did pick on me as a good big sister should, remember when you and Joe Murr stuck me in a garbage can and sat on it?

Teri, I would not be where I am today without you.  You told me to go after my dreams and go to college. You always supported me and had my best interest at heart. You are and always will be a great big sister and I will love you always.  Keith

Hey Big Brother,  I can hear the pain in your voice; we know how much you loved Teri and that she will be greatly missed.  Although we can't be with you during this difficult time, please know that DJ and I are sending you all our love and prayers.

Teri,

You  have been a great big sister, you showed me a lot of things through life, playing tennis, driving a car, and telling me to chase my dreams and go to college; just to name a few.  But, there was that one time when you and Joe Murr stuck me in a garbage can and closed the lid and sat on it, I probably deserved it.

You were always there to help me and support me and without your help I would not be where I am today. I will always miss you and love you. Bones

Dear Tommy:  Uncle Jim Kohrt and Sue are very sorry to hear of your loss.  Just hold the memories of your dear wife close and family will always be there with you.

Heaven got an angel, it was great working with Teri, she always had a smile on her face and everyday would say "Hi! How are you?!" 
She will be missed.

 Nancy and boys
I was shocked to hear of Teri's passing. She was always the bright spot in the day when our kids were growing up together.  My prayers are with you.
Linda  and Roger Reid

So sorry to hear of your loss.  Thinking of you from afar and keeping you in my prayers.

Tom,
I see how painful the unexpected loss of Teri is for you, and it makes my heart aches even more.  But I pray that each day your pain lessens and you will be able to think more about the times you two shared and not so much about the times you can no longer share. 
The world lost an AMAZING woman, but heaven gained an ANGEL!
Gone to SOON, but NEVER FORGOTTEN!

I will miss you so so very much Auntie Teri. I wish we would of spent more time together. But the time we did spend together was full of laughs and smiles that will never be forgotten. I will love you forever and remember you always. xoxo
