Sending our most sincere condolences to Terri's family including her two children Makenzie and Jeremy Symes. We are so glad to have met Terri back when Shane was doing our family's genealogy. They traveled from Utah to Florida so we could meet in person. I stayed in touch over this last decade and have a very special piece of jewelry that Terri made. She was so creative. She will be missed. Our hearts are with you all during this very difficult time.
To the Symes family..
We are thinking about you!
And Love to the family from Jim and Cynthia
I didn't know Terri very well because I am only her co-worker, but I can say that she was truly the light of our team! She was always kind, sweet and funny, and her love and joy for her new puppy always warmed my heart too. I am sending my condolences to your loved ones and friends.
I am so sorry for your loss. Terri was a great kind-hearted woman that was always trying to do the right thing. She will be missed, I am sure she has moved on to bigger and better things.
I am a colleague of Terri's, (Aetna - Sandy Claims Dept.)
Terri was such an amazing person, colleague & Friend. She was a wonderful source of knowledge & would go out of her way to help anyone in need. She was a great conversationalist & had this witty/spitfire sense of humor that could make a whole room smile & laugh! She will truly be missed, but never forgotten. My deepest condolences to her Family, Friends & Loved ones, Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you.

Dearest Laura, I am so sorry for your families devastating loss! I will keep you in my thoughts at this difficult time! Love you!
To Judy, Shane and all the Symes’s family. So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you at this difficult time. May you feel his love at this moment and always. All of my love, Toni
I just talked to her a couple day before Friday. She said she was doing okey and couldn’t talk right then. I am so glad I had talked to Monday. We had a good talk. I didn’t get to see her as often as I would have liked. I loved her dearly and will miss her laugh and always talking about everything. I will miss her a lot. Aunt Florence
Terri was my big sister, my biggest supporter, and my best friend. I loved her dearly. She was alway there for me day or night. As she was for everyone in her life. She loved her puppy chase who is 16 and still going. She loved her new pup also and her family dearly. Thank you all for everything Laura Bobo. And Nikki you said it all so perfectly that is who Terri was I couldn’t have described her better thank you for that ❤️
Terri,
You will always have a special place in my heart when we met at Godfather's Pizza in 1978 it started a friendship that lasted so many years even after my family left Utah in 1980
May your family find peace in you are now in your perfect body in heaven there are no tears or pain in Heaven
Until we meet again

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers for your family.
So sorry to hear this news, especially after the gatherings are done. I had so much fun working with a Terri. Though I haven't seen her in several years, it doesn't seem that long. I pray for peace and comfort for all of her family.
