Terri and I met in Jr. High School and remained friends through High School. I remember when she would pick me up in her little red car and she always had the music going and would dance all the way to our destination. I am very sorry for your loss, praying for healing for your family. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:18 Sincerely, Jan
