Terri was a friend to all. She never met a person she couldn’t hug. She loved her Lord and her family. The greatest joy in her life was being a wife and mother. And she was amazing at both. She has left a great void in this world and in my heart. But there is joy and peace in knowing that we don’t grieve without hope. I will one day see her again in our eternal home in heaven were we will never say goodbye.
We went a mission trip with the Fox family. Each morning as the men waited for their wives to show up we would get a hug and kiss from them. After that Teri would give us all hugs. Now she is hugging the one who died for her.
I prayed and cried with her when she visited our church. I also fasted for her…I have children of my own and had my own ‘little’ scare with breast cancer. I know she is reunited with her dad…in the Heavens. So glad we have a hope, because of His Sacrifice. I will keep praying for her family here on earth. (She certainly did not go out without a fight!) Much love, Gloria G.

Her eyes always lit up when they were together.She was the most amazing Mommy I have ever seen.She loved those babies with every fiber of her being. She was always there when I needed her.Her hugs were the absolute best.I haveso many memories with her that I will always cherish. I am so grateful for the time I was able to spend with her during her last days on earth.Sarah Fox Evans
Terri was one of my favorite people in this world. She always had such a good and happy spirit about her. Many of my childhood memories have her in them. She could light up the grumpiest person with just a hello and a smile. There was never a time that I saw her that she didn’t tell me she loved me, hugged me, and told me how proud of the young woman I have become. She truly was the closest thing to a live angel that I have ever met. I have sorrow in my heart because I miss her, but also gladness that she is with the Lord and is now healthier than she ever has been. The past two days every time I think of Terri, the song ‘I Will Rise’ by Chris Tomlin has come to mind: And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles’ wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise She has risen and the angels are blessed to have her by their side! I love you Terri!
It was with both sadness and rejoicing that I read that Terri had gone on to Glory. Sadness for those of us she left, her husband and children and mother and friends. Rejoicing to know that Terri has seen our Saviour face to face and that she is no longer in any pain. We have prayed for the last year and half for the Lord to heal Terri and while we might wish that He had chosen to heal her here there is no denying that our prayers have been answered. We continue to pray for Buddy and the children and Elaine as they adjust to life without her.
Terri was a very sweet and loving person , she made me feel like family the very first time I met her …. I will miss her very much and my love and prayers go out to the family- she is now singing (with that beautiful voice of hers) in the Heavenly Choir – I love you Terry
When I think of Terri, I always think ‘sweet spirit. That is so clear, by those who loved her and are missing her now. Our love to Buddy, their children, her Mother and siblings. Also Gary, Janet, Sarah and family. We know how much you loved her and what a blessing she has been to each one of you. We will keep you in prayer that you find peace and comfort in the days ahead. Todd and Linda Gander
Terri had a sweet spirit and was an excellent example of a Christian mother, wife and Pastor’s wife. She always had a smile and hug for everyone at church. Prayers and hugs for Pastor and his family. Kristy & Jason Minnick, Andy Kosco
It always seemed as if Terri new just when I was struggling and gave me one of her special hugs. No matter what she was going through, she always asked about me. I will forever cherish the necklace and bracelet she made for me. She new what my favorite color was without ever asking. She made such an impact on my life and I will never take her memory for granted. Love and hugs to Pastor, Bob, Faith, Garrett, and Gracie. Penny and Brad Freeze, Friendship Baptist Church.
Gary and I have been praying for Terri during her illness, and most recently for Terri and her family after the passing of her father. We are praying for your family now and we are asking the LORD to keep His loving arms around you, and keep you in His loving care. Proverbs 3: 5 & 6 In Christian Love, Lou & Gary Carter Good Shepherd Baptist Church Mooresville, Indiana
I challenge anyone who knew Terri to think of a time when Teri didn’t always hug your neck and tell you she loved you before she parted ways with you.
Although I’m sad for her family, I can’t be sad for Terri. She is with her Lord and she NO LONGER HAS CANCER.
Terri was a great friend and was such a sweet person. I will miss her, but I am so very thankful that she is no longer suffering and is resting with Jesus in heaven now. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. She will truly be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with Terri’s family. She was such a compassionate, loving, strong & brave lady. Our meeting in the Summer 2012, was for a reason. Love & hugs from TX!!!
Although I didn’t know Terri well, I still remember the joy on her face as she showed off her first child to me, I am sure she and Buddy felt just that same way with the birth of their next three children. It is so sad that they won’t have her loving spirit to help guide them through life. I am sure Buddy and their family and friends will let them know how much she loved them. Love to Buddy, Fielding, Garrett, Faith and tiny Grace. Aunt Pam
I only knew Terri as a child, and not for a very long period of time. But I have seen the impact that she has made on many lives in life and in passing. Every day for the last few days I have ran into someone who knew her and all of them have said ‘she was a tremendous blessing’ praise God for the testimony of Terri
I was blessed to have met Terri a couple of years ago. She was so very kind and thoughtful. She made such an impression on me, as she was one of the most genuine people I have ever know. I know that she must have been a wonderful daughter, sister, wife and mother. My prayers are now with her entire family, especially her beautiful children.
We will always remember her smile and cheerful personality. Praying for your family.
My dear, sweet, Terri….I was so incredibly blessed to have had you as a friend. We met so very long ago as school girls, but your love and affection have always stayed close to my heart. May you fly with the angels!!
Terri sweet Terri there are not words for the ache in my heart…I will miss you and the sweetest hugs a person could give. You touched my life and one day you said I just want to be a testimony to the Lord by being healed…you are now healed and have left such a great blessing behind that will remain forever in my heart and so many more…,Some day we will meet again and I look forward to that special hug. I will love and miss you tremendously.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of someone so young. I pray that the God of all comfort will give the much needed comfort to all her family and friends during this difficult time. Jesus promised that ‘all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..'(John 5:28, 29) My deepest condolences.
