My wife and I wish to extend our sympathies to Terry’s family. Terry and I were classmates in Kirkwood High School. We are sorry to learn of her passing.
I worked with Terry several years ago at Wal-Mart store 359 here in Fayetteville. She was always so professional and a hard worker too. It always put a smile on my face to see her out somewhere in town; she always greeted me with her warm smile. My condolences to the family and to her friends.
