This is my beautiful sister Tewi, I love you forever – to the moon, little sister Linda . Rest in PEACE Tewi ????????✨????
Terri was a great sister very out going personality. She was proud of her accomplishments in her lifetime, and loved her family. As for sisters I know that she loved us very much, also our brother Gary. She will be missed but never forgotten. Love you Terri.
She was such a bright light when I knew her over 40 years ago, so much so that I remember her smile and laugh like it was only yesterday. She was a fantastic young very hard working single mom when I knew her and her giving, servant spirit left an indelible mark on my persona. So much so that I did not hesitate when I was given the opportunity to marry a single mom myself and as a result am the proud dad 3 adopted children. God bless you, Terri
Terri was the most beautiful soul I have ever met. She was Nana to my son Jayden and Caleb. We stood side by side for the last Sixteen years and what an honor it has been to share my life with hers. You will always be in my heart! Till will meet again. I love you Terri.
Although we never met and as a friend and fellow patriot my heart and thoughts go out to you and your lovely wife. So sorry your love left so soon but in Gods hands we all are at His call. God bless brother!
Thank you for sharing your spirit with me. I will forever be grateful for your unconditional love and support. You were one of a kind and one of my heroes! Until we meet again I will find you in nature and everywhere love shines. I love you Mama Massey!!
My prayers are with all of you. May the Lord’s peace surround you. ????
She was my second mom. I met Josh and Jason in 1993 when we were little kids, and Mrs. Massey took me in like one of her own. Mrs. Massey, you sure will be missed! I’ll be lucky to meet a woman like you someday. May you rejoice in Heaven and enjoy eternal life 🙂
Sweet Terri always had a smile for everyone and joy for life, even in the hard days. We are so blessed to have known her. You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you carry on without her for a little while.
I met Terri when we moved to Gwinnett County in the early 1990s. She was a kind and friendly neighbor with a creative spirit. She was a delight to know and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy to Bob, Jason and Josh, as well as to the extended family.
I always loved Ms. Massey’s eclectic sense of style. She marched to the beat of her own very glamorous drum. She was always warm and welcoming to everyone. Prayers going out to the Massey men and the rest of the family.
As kids Terri was the best cousin ever. We had such great fun anytime we got together. Then as life has it, we had to grow up and go different directions. Terri certainly deserved the best in life. She will be missed by many. Rest In Peace Terri.
I wish we could have seen each other more. I will cherish all the memories we made together. I’m so glad we got to visit during the family reunion in Florida. I’ll remember you fondly as my most glamorous and vivacious aunt! Love you dearly Aunt Terri. Until we meet again. xoxo your niece Carolyn
