This beautiful woman was amazing! She was my mother in law for a lot of years. Even after I still loved her and I will so deeply miss her! Love you so much Terry!
I met Mrs Menzel a few times. She was always smiling and a hard worker. She had oceans of kindness in her eyes.
Terry was one of the sweetest ladies I have known. She had so much love & warmth for everyone she met. She will surely be missed but not forgotten.
I worked with Terry at Delmar Gardens South . She was an amazing nurse, ran circles around us young nurse but was always aloving caring friend to all of us as well. She was a mentor of great strength and knowledge whom I could call on for almost anything. Rest Well my Dear friend.
I worked with Terry at Delmar Gardens South as well as a CNA. She is absolutely unforgettable! Some conversations we had will stick with me forever. I remember asking her what her opinion was on Bob Dylan she said he WAS The 60’s! no one was more influencial than that man at that time lol. The 1st death I was surprised with she was there .. It may not of been for very long that I knew her but she definitely left a mark ❣️
Aunt Terry was an amazing, kind, generous woman who will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rest in peace sweet lady!
Ms. Terry has been a part of my life since I was 19. She was a wonderful mother figure for me and the sweetest grandmother to my son. It must be her time to go and guide others. Rest in peace, beautiful soul.
I worked with Terri as well. She was always up to help with anything and everything! She jumped right in. I was very sad when she told me she was retiring. I just about begged her not to go…… but, she wanted to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. I’m glad she got to do that.
