Larry, Danny, Tracy and Heather, we’ve been together more of our life than not. You all are my second family. So much of my life was spent side-by-side with Terica. Although we lost touch with each other for a while it was so wonderful when I was able to reconnect with her again!! You all are in my heart and prayers. I love her. I love all of you and will miss her along with you.
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 25:8. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
It has been a long time since Mt. Bethel and Marantha days, but I remember watching Terica many times play the piano and sing – I know where she is today is far better than we can image. She is playing in the God’s choir now.
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU. GARY & DOROTHY ROBERTS, JULIA, TONY, ROBIN

Terica was one the most kind, caring and generous people I have known in my life. She used her talents to bring glory to God and touched so many lives over the years. She made me feel welcome into the family 30 years ago and always treated me like a sister not just a sister-in-law. Through all the peaks and valleys in her life she keep the faith and loved her family. I count it a privilege and blessing to have known her. She will forever be in my heart.

After I got over my shock of Teresa’s passing I want to extend our prayers and thoughts to Teresa’s family, we always had a bond and so did Scott and her I am heart broke and I know you all are too. Larry, Tammy, Scott and myself have good memories of Teresa. I will always remember her singing and how wonderfully she played the piano. Like all of us she had some problems in life and overcome them. I was thinking of her this week wondering how she was. She always dressed so beautiful. Beautiful inside and out and I know you all will miss her.
Lori and I were shocked to hear of Terica’s passing. She was a beautiful person. Thought we only met a couple times I knew she loved Champ and the entire family. She made everyone happy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
