Rachel called me and let me know. I’m shocked and saddened by this, wasn’t aware that anything was wrong. There’s a special place in my heart and mind that she will always occupy, and I feel for all of you at this time , especially her mom and dad. No words that I can say will stop the sadness that you all must feel., but just know that I’m thinking of all of you. Henry

To the Lydon family, especially the children, I would like to express my deepest condolences. I first met Terri when I was a music teacher at Kaler School. She was always a bright light shining whether at school or in the grocery store. Terri always made time to “visit” with me. I always admired her “mom” skills which she performed with a smile and a wink. Her love of life will forever live through her children and grandchildren. The world has lost a special person. May the family find peace in the days to come. Love to you all.

Mary and Jean here. We are deeply saddened by Terri’s passing and the loss of her sweet presence for family and friends. We remember her sitting around the kitchen table at family gatherings, quietly attentive to and amused by the antics. Her beautiful smile and full-bodied laughter were infectious and joyous. Her obituary painted a beautiful picture of a life well- lived and well-loved. Our prayers and heart-felt condolences.
