All of my siblings loved her dearly. Aunt Teri and Uncle Eddie will always have a special place in my heart. Never to be forgotten. My prayers go out to my cousins Debbie and Howie. Your mother was a very special woman. To me she was just perfection!

My Aunt Teri was the most beautiful and classiest lady I have ever known. I have always held my Aunt in such high regard. Aunt Teri was the kind of woman I have always strived to be. I have so much love for my Aunt. I am truly heartbroken. But I take solace in the fact that she is now with my Uncle Eddie.
With all my love
