Dear Family of Terry,
I am not a relative. I knew Terry through my marriage to Nancy Plas, daughter of Joe and Nan Plas of Saginaw, MI.
Tony and Terry would come to visit – and I met Greg on one of his visits, and going to his wedding. Greg and his father, Tony, came to the funeral of Nancy’s sister, Mary Lou, about 3 yrs ago.
And I have fond memories of visiting Tony and Terry in Moscow,PA. They always made me feel so a part of the family. I knew Terry as caring person – full of love and appreciation in the joy of life. My heart goes out to Tony, Greg, and all her family. You are in my prayers and will make a donation to St. Jude’s Hospital in honor of Terry. Ed Sager

Dear Tony Sr, Greg, Tony Jr, Paul, Matt and Luke –
I’m so saddened to hear this news. Although I hadn’t seen her for several years, we’ve always kept in touch over the holidays. I have so many fond memories of Terry, her wonderful cookies and pierogies at Christmas and how she loved and enjoyed being with her family. She was an inspiration to me and I will never forget her down-to-earth wisdom, her excellent advice and her common sense way of looking at life. I will miss her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and my husband and I will be making a donation in her name to St Jude’s Children’s research hospital.
Sincerely, Marti Jones
