A limb has fallen from the family tree.
We often here regarding our fallen loved ones, “Grieve for me not…”.
But the loss of someone so influential and loved makes that almost impossible.
I believe we should remember the best of times shared.
Be thankful for the lessons learned, and the love shared.
We should count our blessings That we were allowed to be a part of such a faithful, compassionate, and generous woman’s life.
And yes, she did live her life to the fullest.
We can continue her legacy by being exemplifying the values she has shown and lived.
We must continue those traditions she established, no matter how small.
This will ensure as we continue with the rest of our lives, she will always be a major part of it.
I am sure she will miss us as much as we miss her.
But if we strive to be our very best, the people she knows we are, her mind will be at ease, her soul will be at rest, until the day comes when the Good Lord brings us all together again.
Dr. Altstadt, family and friends you have our deepest sympathies.
Jack and family: Saddened to hear about the passing of Terry. I only knew her after my mother moved into Heartis, but she was a friendly and caring person even at that point. She was always quick to smile. We will miss seeing you and Terry. Our condolences on your loss.
While I have not been able to see either Jack or Terry for some years I am saddened by her passing. What a gentle gracious and caring lady. Terry and Jack always seemed to be the perfect couple.
Sending all of our condolences and prayers in this difficult time.. She is truly with our Lord now.
Thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. With deepest sympathy and love. Cherish the memories. Lots of hugs coming your way
Dear Jack, Laurie and family,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
