Cochrane Family,
I saw Terry’s obituary in yesterday’s Seattle Times and want to extend our deepest condolences to your families. Terry and Bob moved in next door to me on NE 60th Street, Seattle, in 1990 (I think) and lived there until they moved to Mirabella. I remember them both as very kind people and absolutely wonderful neighbors. We exchanged Christmas cards every year, and I visited Terry several times after Bob died. I know how difficult it is to lose a mother, but you are blessed to have had her with you for so many years. May your memories of her, and your love for her, bring you comfort.
Terry was a dear friend and sister-in-law. We corresponded frequently for many years. She told me k her travels and her dear family. I will miss our lovely ,conversations and letters. Terry was so proud of her grandchildren and family. She is in my ptayers.
Virginia Mason, Terry was a PEO sister who was missed when she moved from Seattle.
Memories of Terry Cochrane go back to my time living in Tacoma while I was Fr. Bob’s associate at Christ Church, Tacoma. Terry was a gracious and welcoming host in their home when I came to Tacoma to interview for the Christ Church position.
I have fond memories of her love and devotion to her husband, Fr. Bob, and her two sons, Michael and Stephen.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
