• Notes

  Though her recent years were scarred with cancer, she did not allow it to define her. She spent her days with grace and generosity, her strength and beauty growing with every passing day. Tera wore many hats, her favorite of which were "Mommy," "wife," "daughter," "sister," and "friend" and she performed each role with an enthusiasm that could not be feigned or imitated. The loves of her life, Jimmy and Emma, were her pride and joy and she was always willing to share a story or one of the anecdotes that often come with husbands and young children. She made lists, she lost lists, she wholly agreed with her mother's favorite quote of "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" but was willing to pick up and go if someone was in need, or even just wanted her company. She loved sushi, tween novels, movies based on tween novels, Frye boots, and General Hospital. Tera enjoyed working as a senior paralegal for Dickenson Gilroy, LLC in Alpharetta, Ga., and often boasted of how fortunate she was to work with such a wonderful group of individuals; they felt the same of her. Tera was a 1995 graduate of Princeton Community High School in Princeton, Ind., and a 1999 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
