To my beautiful sister, I never imagined having to live without you. You were my best friend and my loving sister. You did everything for everyone and always selfless with what more you could do. I miss you so much it hurts so bad. But knowing God called you to be one of his angels brings me peace. I have felt selfish trying to understand, but I will see you again when it’s time for me to come home. I will always watch over Eddy and Dana.. & of course your Bodhi. We are family and I will do whatever I can to keep our family close and keep your legacy here with us. We had the best times and am so grateful I had you as my sis.. we will dance again to Earth wind & fire and Gaga!! Love you sis!!
How blessed we all are to have known someone so hard to let go of. God Bless the family of such a wonderful, one of a kind woman! ❤️
God Bless you Robin and Your Family For them Kind And Very True Words I spent a lifetime with Terri and I found her to be more Wonderful And Kind each day Edward Sportelli

I was so sorry to read of Teri’s death. I have not seen her she was a little girl and would visit her grandparents (my Rose and Uncle Vince) in Rumson, New Jersey. She was the bright star of their lives.
