Teri had a very optimistic outlook on life.  Most of her adulthood, Teri faced several health conditions, but still managed to keep a very positive attitude and live life to the fullest.

Teri possessed an outpouring of unconditional love for everyone around her, especially her family, friends and animals.

Teri had a heart of gold and was unbelievably strong and courageous.  Teri was definitely one of a kind and could light up a room with her smile.  She will be loved and missed by many.
