Steve, Scott, Todd, and Keith. So sorry to hear the news of Terry's passing. Her love of life, family, and friends was legendary. As many have written or said.....she was a second Mother to many of us back in the day. She was simply a great lady who will be missed by all that were fortunate to know her. I send my deepest condolences from Atlanta.

Hamburg Family: My deepest sorrow to all of for your loss. I will always remember Terry as smiling and full of energy with a most generous heart. She had the unique quality of being able to think of others. I love that she was the first person to send a card to my Mom and Dad. In her generosity, she knew how to give a perfect gift to others and in so doing she, herself, was a gift.
