  1. You won’t be forgotten. Your sobriety gave others hope Terri. My sobriety is stronger because of people I’ve met like you.

  2. Terri,
    You helped me find the light in my darkness. You picked me up every time I became weak and fell down. Your heart was bigger than most, and your heart beats on in every one of us. You have blessed so many people with your presence; but most importantly, you have blessed me. I love you, and I will miss you dearly.
