Jack and Jamie, we are so very sorry to hear of Terry’s passing.
Terry was a great teacher. Our girls enjoyed being in her class, and I always enjoyed subbing for her — I knew her classroom would be well organized, and the kids thriving. But more importantly, Terry was a lovely person, and the world is a lesser place without her.
Our thoughts are with you.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, Jack and Jamie.
Jack and Jamie…..we are so deeply sorry to hear of Terry’s passing.
Our children had Terry as their teacher while attending Hillcrest. How fortunate they were; Terry was such a great teacher and positive mentor for children. She was a truly genuine, loving woman.
Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Jack and Jamie…. we send our love to you
Dear Jack and Jamie….we will all miss Terry. She was great to work with at Hillcrest School for all those wonderful years. She cared so much for both of you. Jack…you and she were inseparable. Jamie…I had some good chats with your mom about you at Hillcrest. She loved you!!!
Dear Jack & Jamie,
We’re so sorry to hear of Terry’s passing. What a difficult time for both of you. May the many happy memories of your times together help ease the pain. Our thoughts are with you Jack & Jamie.

Words fall short of expressing the deep sadness felt at the loss of my dearest and most cherished childhood friend. Our mothers met at the Owen Sound General and Marine Hospital in 1954 where we were “room-mates” in the same maternity ward. Although we lost track of each other for a number of years,our Mom’s figured out that we both resided on the west coast. It was truly a great gift to be reconnected. For the last several decades my husband Joel and I would enjoy visiting with Terry, Jack along with Jamie in Santa Barbara so we could catch-up on all the latest news, have a picnic and go for walks along the water. On several occasions Terry, Jack and Jamie were also able visit us at our home near Los Angeles. We reflect on all the good times we had and offer our most profound and deepest sympathy to Jack, Jamie and the entire family.
May you find comfort in all the beautiful memories she left us.
Love Kathy and Joel
