It is with great sorrow to hear of Terrell's passing. I knew her from school and she we were in the same tight circle of friends in high school and beyond. We used to visit her house after school on a regular basis. Terrell treated everyone with geat kindness and respect and brought a smile to many. She will live on in the hearts of many and I for one will forever miss her. My prayers go out to her entire family, especially Tommy, her mother and two brothers. God bless. John Gran
