"We had an instant connection from the first day we wet. That connection quickly turned into family and the sister I always wanted. You were there for me when I needed a sister, no questions asked. You touched the heart of everyone you met. You will be remembered fondly and missed by all that knew you. I will treasure all the memories we shared. Walks on the beach to find that perfect shell, para sailing where you insisted I found God because I kept saying....Oh God, Oh God! Even though I'm afraid of heights I'm glad I was able to help you take that off your bucket list! The wineries, festivals, dinners out, breaking into your house when you left your keys home. The list goes on and on! I take comfort in knowing you are with you mom, dad and fur babies that took the journey before you. I was truly blessed to have you in my life. Until we meet again, rest easy my friend. "
In loving memory of

Tributes
"I hope you know how much you were truly loved and appreciated. Writing this, I still can't believe that this is real or that I won't see you come through those doors again. I have never met a more compassionate or caring person than you. Although I really only have known you for a small part of your life, I will take those memories with me forever. I have all of the crazy videos and pictures throughout the years, and it will always bring a smile to my face knowing I got to share a small part of that with you. This is not a goodbye my dear friend but a simple see you later. -Nick "
"In getting to know Terri, you quickly learn what a kind and generous heart she had. She was always the first to message or call when she thought there was something she could help with. She was a beautiful person, and someone my loved ones I and I every day. "
"Terri was one of the most special people I have ever known. There are so many special memories I got to have with her that I wouldn't even know where to start. I love you Terri and your whole Carter's family loves you and misses you."
