She once helped me to beat the ghosts in my house by telling me to a kick a coconut in my living room making an X with said coconut. It kinda helped with my haunting. But this was one of many exchanges with Terry that helped and she was too cool or not meant for this earth. Anybody that didn’t know or talked with Terry? They missed out.
I’ll miss you, and the world turned knowing Cherry Bubbles helped it turn. Her Chairy bubbles tattoo confirmed her definite good status in the world. You’ll be missed and I like others, hope to see you again. Rest in peace.
To the ultimate sweetheart couple, thank you. Everything our paths crossed my joy meter spiked. Great conversation, fun, and laughter were guaranteed. Even with a heavy heart at this solemn time, just a thought or memory of you two together, forces a broad smile across this stoney face. Terry is a special being. Her mere presence, her love of life, her intelligence, and her beauty, are all absolute undeniable proof she was " just visiting " this planet. Thany you Terry! We all love you!
Haircut time!
