Please accept my deepest sympathies. I didn't know Terri well but I felt she had an instant like ability. On the few occasions that I had the opportunity to speak with her, she was very friendly, down to earth and warm. To her close family and friends, I'm so sorry for your loss. I especially feel sad for the time she will never have with her beautiful little granddaughter, who she clearly adored. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. - Posted by: Debbie Karpenko () on: Sep 12, 2014

Our condolences to the family. As we met the Fosters when they moved to Brandon with John's move. Terri and I became great friends. Long coffee dates as we both lived on a nice country property outside of town. Terri spent a lot of time outside, and was a great gardener..which she taught me a lot about..but of course she was the best cook. Her baking was divine. She always had a great treat for coffee. Many nites beside our fires with Terri and John and a beer or 2. As Terri was so crafty she started to paint on rocks...as did I. We decided to go for a drive to go rock hunting, so in her little car we go..after 3 hrs and many miles, and a good stash of rocks, we realize we are lost...yep lost. We had to call Don to help us find our way home..Terri I will miss you. And our memories are forever. - Posted by: Cheryl and Don Allen (Friends) on: Aug 26, 2014

It's true you work hard all your life right and then its time to have fun and you are hit with the shock of your life - your friend, your love of your life, your partner becomes sick and your world turns upside down. John just want to say she is in a safe place and will be there for you when it is your turn. All I can say is it is not easy, my thoughts are with you. - Posted by: DebbieDeVos (friend to John) on: Aug 25, 2014
