  12. Dear Fred, Pat & Family –
    I am so sorry to hear about Teri Lynn’s passing. Thinking of her reminds me of growing up in our Hominy family… After we grew up and went our separate ways, I had a wonderful encounter with Teri Lynn a few years ago. While helping a friend unload her moving truck, Teri Lynn, her Husband and her son stopped by to help. They brought cookies and other snacks to ‘meet the new neighbor.’ It’s a testament to the type of woman she grew to be. My prayers and my thoughts are with you –

  13. We are so sorry for the loss of Teri. There are no words of comfort that can help you in this time of grief. Just know that so many of us are thinking of you and praying with you for the strength to get through such a terrible loss.

  14. Dear Family,

    I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Teri. I went to school with her. May God’s peace & comfort carry you through the coming days. You all are in my prayers.

  15. Teri,our friendship began over 30 years ago on Heatherly Drive. Our good times there are too numerous to mention here but will always be in my heart to recall when I think of you, dear, precious friend of mine. A few memories are those of playing with our massive collection of Barbie dolls, romping in the snow, and then enjoying your grilled cheese sandwiches. They were the best! Through the years you were always there for me. We both finally grew up, married, and had our own real-life babies, Hayden and Emma. The Barbie dolls were long put away. We now strolled through the park together, having picnics, laughing and reminiscing of days gone by and the future before us. Thank you, Teri, for enriching my life, and the life of all my family. I will love you always, my forever friend.
    Until we meet again,
    Julie Israel Drake

  16. Teri,

    It has taken me several days to gather my thoughts in order to write to you. How do you console the one who has consoled you for all those years?

    Teri is a part of me and our youth group generation! May you find peace in the coming days, weeks, and years knowing that her memory will live on forever in the lives she touched.

  27. Sandy, my mom Evelyn and I were shocked to hear of Teri Lynn’s death at such a young age. Please accept our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the family.
