Terry will always be remembered by me. It seems like yesterday we were carpooling to a high school drill team practice or event.....she was fun, down to earth, friend to all, diligent, and had the best sense of humor (she kept Paula, Julie and I laughing--we all stood next to each other in drill team lineup).

Although it has been a few years since those high school days, I can see from the attached photos, she remained the same through the years with her family and friends. She blessed us all.

May your memories comfort you during this difficult time. Your Haude Family will keep you in our prayers.
Sincerely, Denise Passmore (PE at Haude)

Dear Fincher family, I am so sorry for your loss. I send my deepest condolances to all of you! May God's peace that passeth all understanding give you comfort in this most difficult time. I know Terry will be greatly missed but cherish all the precious memories with her. I pray God will bless you and comfort you all in  in the days to come.

Terry, your strength was an inspiration to me and I will never forget your smiling face. Even in the midst of your battle, you would come to the summer swim meets and cheer energetically for Brandon. You will be missed and I hope to see you again someday. My prayers to your family during this time.

To the Gateley & Fincher Families!
I was blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Terry and become 
friends with her.  While I worked with her in Princess House she truly
was an inspiration.  Everything she did was so exciting.  She was immaculate about everything and a very positive, uplifting role model.
Her upbeat attitude would always cheer me when I was down and she 
never had a cross word to say about anyone or anything.  She had a strong belief in God, Family and friends.  I always wished I could be more like her.
Michael, Brandon, and my very dear friend Loraine there are no words 
that I can say that will help you at this time I know that you will find strength and courage in the love and support of your faith in God, family and friends.  To the Fincher Family -- you truly raised a precious special daughter.  She was a Treasure.  Love and God's peace to all of you.. Margie Lee

Some of my most precious memories were with Terry Fincher and Terri Nau. I will dearly miss her.

Terry,

You blessed so many people each summer when you attended our swim meets and team nights.  We were blessed to see you this year when you could attend and those memories will last us a lifetime.  You were the life the a party and lighted up a room when you entered.  We will forever have you in our memories and for that we are thankful.

My condolences to the family of Ms. Gateley. May the GOD of all comfort provide you with whatever is needed so you can cope with your great loss. Also there will be a end to all causes of death and the heartaches it brings.

I have so many fun memories of Terry, especially at our lively bunco nights.  Whenever I use my Princess House glassware I will be thinking of her.  My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to her family.  Cindy, sending special thoughts and hugs to you.

Terry always welcomed Mark and I, when we came by to visit with her bright "Texas Hospitality"and great laugh! 

She will be sadly missed.

She will always be in our hearts.

Bertha and Gerry, my deepest sympathy to you and the rest of Terry's family.  We are praying for you.  Thank you or sharing Terry's life in pictures with the obitutary.  She is beautiful, just like her mother.  May God comfort you now and the days to come.

Terry, was a wonderful friend and neighbor to grow up with in Tower Oaks.  I will remember all the good times we had playing together as young girls.  Time goes by fast, but we are blessed with friends, like Terry, who make it wonderful. My parents, James and Opal send their condolences to the family.

Terry was such a special person!!!  She always had a smile on her face and a funny to tell you.  I always admired her and how strong she was for what she was going thru but, she never had a frown or wanted any sympathy.  I will miss her smiling face and infectious laugh at the Holder show.  I didn't know her extremely well but, I do know that she was loved and will definitely be missed.  Prayers for her family in abundance.
Norma Meyer
