Terry,
I miss you so much,I can't believe it's almost a year since you left us, it is like a "bad dream" and not a day goes by that I don't want to call and talk to you or tell you what happened at work that day. I love you and miss all the fun we had.

I apologize for my belated sympathies, I just heard today that Terry had passed and couldn't believe it. I was thinking it must have been someone else with the same name. Sadly, it was not. I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a great woman who was always kind to me as a kid (she was an absolute Godsend on cold days when she would stop and ask if I wanted a ride to school). As an adult I would see her about once a year, or so, and we would talk as if we never lost contact. She was one of the nicest, funny and most sincere people I have ever met. My heart goes out to the Misner family during your healing.

What Grandma Means to Me
Grandma means love that is unconditional.
Grandma means saying yes, when everyone else says no.
Grandma means kissing your scrapes and wiping away your boo boo's.
We love you Grandma Terry and will miss you more than you will ever know.
Love your cookies,
Lauren & Leah

On April 24, Terry picked Ricky and I up at the train station in Bensonville. What an amazing journey it's been since then. Terry had a special way about her. The warmth of her heart I experienced when we first met was there during our last visit. Love is such a powerful force. My thoughts and prayers to Terry, her wonderful friends, and very special family.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
is this the long way?' she asked. And the guide said:
Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. "But the end will be better than the beginning..."
But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this".
Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was
dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, 'Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come.'
And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children,' A little patience and we are there. So the children climbed, and when they reached the top they said, 'Mother, we would not have done it without you.'
And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up
at the stars and said, 'This is a better day than the last,
for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I've given them strength.'
And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said:
'Look up. Lift your eyes to the light. ' And the children looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the Mother said, 'This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God.'
And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said, 'I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them.'
And the children said, 'You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.' And they stood and watched her as she went on alone,and the gates closed after her. And they said: 'We cannot see her but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence.'
Your Mother is always with you.... She's the whisper
of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop.
She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space... not even death!
Melissa,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. My prayers are with you and your family.

As I sat at the wake and funeral for Terri I wondered, "Did she know how much I loved her? Did she know how much I looked up to her? How much I admired her? Did she know how much everyone did?" I sure hope so! She was our "glue," she held us together as a family organizing our family reunions contacting everyone that she could find and letting them know, "Your a part of this family and we want to see you!" She was such a loving kind soul and touched SO many lives! I miss her, I mourn her loss! I pray we don't fall apart and seperate out of touch with one another as a family. I am grateful she did not suffer on and on but I am selfish and did not want her to go either. She had the most beautiful send off I have ever seen fitting the Queen that she was in my life and all lives she had touched with her loving kindness and tender heart. I am so sorry for her loss and I pray for my cousin Danny and his wonderful children. I love you all so much! My heart hurts, as does everyones. I know. Terri will always be a part of me.

I have made alot of bad choices in my life and done a lot of things that i really regret. And when i made those mistakes the one person that i had to turn to was my mother. She was all ways there for me. I could not have picked or asked for a better mother, grandmother for my children or my neices or nephews, or even a greater mother in law for my wonderful wife, my two sister in laws or my brother in law. So now all i can ask is that me and my dad, brothers , sister, and there familys to stay strong and together forever and let nothing ever change that. Because we need each other more now then ever. Mom i will never forget you and never stop loveing you. I WILL MISS YOU MORE THEN WORDS CAN SAY. My heart is so broken because i lost the greatest person in the whole world way to soon. I love you so much mom and will be with you someday. And we will take care of dad for you. LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

After Terry's Ceremony, Matti and I had to get back to the house to relieve Cassie from watching our 5 little ones, Nicholas, Owen, Breanna, Kiley and Gabriella. We spent the day watching them play together and swim in the pool. The sun was shinning and it was so beatiful and peaceful all day. After the baby's nap, Gabriella decided to get up and take her first steps, 6 of them to be exact, and she didn't stop all day. We knew that Big Mamma (Vivian Bires) and Terry were watching over everyone and knew we needed to be smiling! Thank you Angels!

My Story
Yesterday after Terry’s ceremony Tony, Derek and I took the bikes to Starved Rock.
A beautiful day for riding, the sun shined the whole day.
Once we got there we sat in the shade on a bench and watched the people fish and enjoyed the river flowing.
An elderly gentleman with binoculars around his neck came up to us and asked how’s the fishing, and that started a conversation about the Asian Carp.
He then moved on to the couple further down and continued to talk to them for awhile.
I told Tony & Derek he is enjoying the Strawberries.
The river was peaceful.
As we left the park for some reason unknown to me, I looked up, an eagle was hovering above us, immediately in my mind I knew it was a sign from Terry saying she is okay, I held up my hand and waved to her and said, “goodbye”

hey terry, you would have been SO PROUD today. you had an awesome ride,with dan right with you and all the bikes ,cars,(soooooooo many), endless it seemed. and ALL FOR YOU.everyone who seen ,knew there was one very loved and special person there . dan and the kids made sure you went home like the queen that you were. you are so loved by so many and you will live on in every one of our lives forever. so many people talked about all the wonderful things you have done for everyone,it was one story after another and not enough time to tell them all. we will tell them as the years goes by , keeping you with us forever. you've always put others before yourself. that was your way. now you can be at rest ,your job is done here, and you did a great job at that! you raised a great family that is as wonderful as you.many people are blessed to have had you in their lives ,i know our family was ,as were many others. dan and kids ,sue, Patty, Julie, Tommy,be strong, we love you all and we will get though this together. Terry will be in our hearts and in our thoughts everyday forever........she will be missed!! we have another special angel to watch over us..

Words can never express the "void" I feel in my heart, Terry wasn't only my sister she was my friend, she and I were number 3 and 4 of 8 children, as kids we sometimes had to share a bed (I was the bed wetter so no one ever wanted to) and then we grew up and continued to share our lives , raising our kids together through good times and bad times, loving each one as only a mother (and aunt) can... (something our mother taught us!) We had so much fun!
When mom died Terry took over and when I needed to talk/vent she was the one I called (and I think everyone else did too!) she was taken WAY TOO SOON! we never had the chance to take the "Sisters" cruise we talked about! It is not going to be the same with out her.. we always teased Terry about being late all the time, I wish she could have been late for this appointment... I love you Terry!
be sure you and Ricky save me, Patty, and Julie a spot at the bar so we can celebrate all our good times when we're together again!
Love, Suzy

Danny and family, I'm so sorry to hear about Terry passing away. So quickly and so young. I hope you are comforted by her being in a better place and by her smile which you can feel any time you are together and any time you feel the need. It was always so good to come to Chicago and feel how I belonged as part of a huge happy family, and Terry was and is a cornerstone of that family. Our love and prayers are with you.

I'm honored to say I knew her and to her loving life I toast...Thanks for everything you've given me, for all your love and support. I know you're in a better place now.

Words cannot express what a wonderfull,caring, sweet person Terry was. I feel that I was truly blessed the day I married Jimmy. Not only did I acquire a Mother-In-Law, I felt that I also gained a second mom in the process. Jimmy & I will always be thankfull for everything you have done for us. You always were the first to help anyone who needed it, and putting others before yourself. Like I told you before you died, I promise you I will always take good care of Jimmy, and the girls! I love you and you will be missed so much.

Terry, so many things I wanted to say...
You've been a touchstone in my life along the way. When we were together, you were the sunshine of my day. Over several years when our paths were apart, God made sure we'd meet to chat and remember back to start. You made me feel special in your Terry-sort-of-way. You taught me many life lessons that I cherish to this day. God needs you now, and I completely understand. It's your turn in heaven to offer a special Terry-helping-hand.
Thank you for being a part of my life and helping me to be a better person.
Tender loving blessings to Dan and family. My heart weeps for your loss.

We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our duty to the end,
‘Till we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts.
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will,
Forget you, Mother dear.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

YiaYia Terry we always wondered where you kept your wings. Were they hung in your closet with the rest of your things? Did you put them away and just use them at night or give them to grandpa to polish up bright. We know you had to have wings, for this is true, 'cause God always gives them to Angels like you. We will love and miss you always.

She was my mother, my best friend, and my sister all in one. I hope I can raise my children as well as she has raised me and my brothers. When they grow up they wont to be around me (not because I'm there mother and they have to be). I think I can speak for myself and my brothers when I say there wasn't a time we didn't wont her around. She always said you can pick your friends but not your family so just get along. Well, it always sounded pretty good to her. My heart will always be broken now that she is gone. There wont be a day that goes by something doesn't remind me of her. She will always be loved and missed by anyone who ever met her. To my mother I LOVE YOU and WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU.

To Danny and family Foot prints in the sand One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene noticed two sets foot prints in the sand; One belonged to him, and the other to the Lord. when the last scene of his life flashed before him, He looked back at the foot prints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only set of foot prints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. during your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of foot prints, it was then that I carried you. love the Cimaroli family

My thoughts and prayers are with Danny and their entire family during this difficult time. She was one of a kind. Terry will always be remembered for her unique ability to make anyone she met feel like part of her family. Whether she knew you for 30 years or 30 seconds she always made you feel right at home. She will be truly missed.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
