Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much
Whatever the part.

Very few know the heartache. Very few know the pain. I would give anything just to have you here, or to hear your laughter again.
All ofmy life your quiet inner strength has meant so much to me. Your wisdom, humbleness and keen intellect,
Played a significant role in the woman I 've come to be. God, with His Infinite Wisdom, has taken the Terrell solid rock.
God has transitioned you from labor to reward, In his quest for enhancing His premium angel stock. Say hello to grandmama because I still miss her, too. Someday I'll make the transition and be in Heaven with both ofyou. I love and I thank you both for your words ofwisdom and encouragement Your inspiration will, as it always has, propel me, humbly, to greater
height, spiritually and professionally.
Humbly and reverently submitted by: Your granddaughter, Cathy
