Dear Chuck and family,
I will miss my dear friend! She was the true example of the virtuous woman in every way. So gracious and a wonderful Christian. Some day we will be together again in Heaven.

Much Love to You All!

Miss Terri, you had a most beautiful and peaceful robe room in Judgment House and you are now experiencing that peace.

My prayers to you Chuck and family, for strength, comfort and peace during this time and forever more. Love you much.

We are very sorry to learn of Terry’s passing. She was a beautiful Christian woman who loved her family, her country ?? and the Lord. She will certainly be missed. Please know we are thinking of you at this very difficult time and will keep you all in our prayers.
Jacques & Kimberly Beaudin says
My family’s hearts are broken and overwhelmed with sadness and shock! What an example of a Christian woman who dedicated her life to be an example of a “Bright Light On a Hill” proclaiming the Joy of the salvation found in Jesus in words and by example. No way of stating the impact that her caring lifestyle had on our family in years past and even on Facebook. Check out her last 2 posts. Our love, our tears, and prayers are with you now, Chuck, and in the coming days. — feeling sad.
Jamie Thompson says
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Terri was a dear friend to my mom, Cheri Robertson. I met her at the church and when a was single and pregnant with twins she delivered a dresser to me and she also came to the hospital and prayed with me when I was in labor and going to be flown to Great Falls for delivery. The joy in her smile could be seen through her eyes as well. She will be greatly missed. Prayers to you all.

Jodi Anderson says
My dearest Chuck and family,
So many memories flood my heart from the past 15+ years. Terri was not just an ordinary person, she was a very special angel sent from heaven. She was such a strong God fearing and loving woman that blessed me with friendship, as my mentor and counselor, sister and adopted mama. We shared laughter, tears, hardships, joys, sucesses, and our love for crafts. My heart breaks for all of us here on earth for her sudden departure, but rejoice that we will see her again in heaven.
Go in Faith
Mark Calkins says
What a loss. God creates lives that cannot be replaced by any soul before or after, and Terri is a perfect example of an irreplaceable work of art in a human form of joy. Terri is my cousin, and because of distance and ages, I was never privileged to spend much time with her. When we lost her sister Joni my time with her then made such an impact regarding the kind of beautiful soul she is. Her Christmas notes and enthusiasm for her faith and hope were a light in the darkness, even when tragedy had beset her life. I know tragedy of this order more deeply bereaves and besets those who love her, and I pray that her faith will echo with comfort from where she lives triumphantly now.
Tom Rasmussen says
Dear Chuck and family ….. My condolences to you in this most hurtful of losses. Yet in spite of all that we
feel in our human spirit, we can rejoice knowing that Terri is walking on streets of gold and rejoicing with angels.
She represented the very best as a Christ-like model, walking with a loving and gentle spirit yet standing strong
in advocating for Biblical values in our personal lives and in our culture. My prayers are with you, that you will receive
all the peace and comfort that our Father has for us in times like this.
John and Sandra Johnson says
Dear Chuck and family, We send to you our deepest sympathies on the passing of Terri. Memories flood our minds of working and serving together in Helena in various Civic organizations and church. She was a committed, kind, and gracious lady and always had a smile. May you find comfort knowing that Terri is now in the presence of the Lord.
Larry Pedersen says
Dearest Dearest Chuck,
Larry and I are so deeply grieved at Terri’s passing. I just came across it on Facebook today and our hearts are broken. Terri was my only friend during that stressful time in 1969 during OCS at Fort Belvoir, VA and without her companionship the entire experience would have been so much harder. I loved her like a sister and was so blessed with her laughter and joyfulness. We were a couple of young brides at the beginning of our marriages and God knew what he was doing when you and Larry got off the buses at Fort Ord. They lined you up alphabetically, Paske then Pedersen. A forever friendship. Please call us at 970-217-7799. Sending all our love and prayers.
