  1. Terry was such a dear and precious Godly friend and neighbor. She was always willing to pray for others and help in any way. I count it an honor God allowed me to know and love her for so many years. She will be missed.. Heaven continues to grow sweeter everyday. I will always love her. Thank you for touching my life Terry. My love and prayers to all the family.

  2. OM goodness I am so sad to read this. I was just thinking of a Terry a few days ago. There was no mention of the beautiful voice she had when she sang with The Omegas. wow! Those girls could sing. (Millie, Terry & Wanda) Terry was a special person, so caring & could pray beautiful prayers. She & Eddie made the perfect pair. I will miss her. Heaven has gained another angel. RIP sweet lady.

  3. So sad for this world to lose such a faithful prayer warrior .. but .. rejoicing in Heaven that another Child of God has come home. I will miss my talks with Aunt Terry but thankful she is no longer suffering. I always knew she truly would pray if I asked .. love you Aunt Terry .. rest well in the arms of our Savior!

  5. Terry was such a very special person. I was privileged to know her and work with her. Such a giving and caring person. She was a godly lady and always open with her spiritual belief. So refreshing to think of her and the wonderful person I will always remember. I am so sorry she is no longer with us here on earth and send my sympathy to the family.

  6. I am a 63 classmate of Terry, and am so sorry to hear of her passing. i will keep her family in my prayer.

  7. Such fond memories of Terry and Eddie for such workers for the Lord. Know she was glad to see the face of Jesus and be with Eddie. We shall see her again..Hallelujah!

  8. Terry was such a wonderful sweet person. She was one of the most God fearing woman i knew. She could say the most beautiful prayers. She will be missed so much but heaven sure got a lot sweeter
