Jennifer Terrell Obituary

Terrell, Jennifer Lynn On March 3, 2014 Jennifer Lynn Terrell of Chicago left us for God's library in the sky. She is reunited there with her parents, Elaine and Mike, her grandparents, Amy and Edward; her aunt, Pat; and a lifetime of well-loved pets. She will be deeply missed by her brother, Jeff; her loving godparents and friends, and all who had the honor of knowing her. By now she will be teaching little girl angels they can play hockey too, rewatching Gone With the Wind with her mom, and playing practical jokes on her dad that probably involve tarantulas. She will have gotten her five year coin from Bill, and be teaching a new crop of mad scientists the secret formula for guacamole guam. Her room in heaven will be decorated with original pen and ink drawings by Edward Gorey and some of her incredible photography. The minifridge beside her sumptuous reading chair will provide an endless supply of milk and pumpkin pie. She will have a book in her hand, a cat purring in her lap, and XRT on in the background. And we will miss her. In a quiet moment, please light a candle and send your love and prayers her way.

Jennifer I just found out this morning because of my husband doing some searching about you. I've been crying my eyes out since. I can't believe you're gone. I'm so sorry we lost touch all of these years. Your were my very best friend for over 16 years we were inseparable for most of them. You were there in my wedding and saw all my kids after they were born. I wish I could have helped you through all your troubled years. My kids know all about you I talk you about all the time, that gives me some peace knowing that they know our fun times we had together. You will live on in the Moldovan household forever. I'm Soo sorry things did not come easy for you I wish I was there to help you. I love you and never will I forget you my dear friend. Say hi to pepper and snuggles and keep on being squishy!!!
