There are no words. Just tears right now.

Here is a picture of Terri, taken in 2006, while she was living in France. I think it captures her personality a bit.

It's much better if you enlarge it.

This really is such a shock...

Terri and I had fallen out of touch the last few years, but she was one of those friends that you could always pick up where you left off and go full steam ahead. I never got to meet her in person, but I did get to speak with her on the phone, once, when spimcoot was staying with her.

RIP Zen Devil - your life was short, but oh boy, you packed a lot into it.

I only met you the once, and was amazed by your vitality and energy..

You and the Pirate Wench's hen session and the P (bleep> stick in my mind, as with the lads' stag trip, with the Uvulas (or what ever they are called) afterwards. You certainly made Mannheim your own.

I'll miss you, and may you now be without pain, and finally relax.

I hope you don't mind, as I break a rigid rule, and put some photos of you on line (I do Not post photos of anyone unless I have their permission) in happier times, and apologies if they offend anyone.

For her friends.




We will remember her.

I didn't know Terri well, but we bumped into each other in many, many threads over the years. Always lively, and funny, and thoughtful.

My condolences to her family.

MazinMadFiddler: I'm afraid your link doesn't work--takes me to my own Flickr.

Could her friends list on her PS be changed to 'fiends list' as a mark of remembrance? I never knew her but your friend is my friend, lil

Snailrind and all. Go to the link and search for nealrollason then look for Terri. I don't think I've blocked it.

Doesn't appear to work if you're not registered on yahoo...

Terri rang me last Wednesday. I hadn't spoken to her since Mannheim. She seemed well. She was looking for a favour - she wanted me to write something for her, which I did later in the day and e-mailed it off. I wondered why she never got back to me.



As Bel said, she was not shy. She was the most outgoing person I ever met; she would be classified as a crazy woman by most people who encountered her in the street. But she was actually a great listener as well. She had just applied to work for the Samaritans, volunteers who talk to depressed people who are contemplating suicide. I think Terri would have been very good at this, as she had a lovely warm personality and could see the good things in life.

Terri was a bit of handful - her conversations were interspersed with talk about farts, the drugs she had taken and practical jokes she had played on people. She was a semi-reformed alcoholic and dangerous when let near a drink. This was the devil of her Zendevil name. But she had the Zen side as well; her dodgy leg had forced her to give up work, and she sat and thought quite a bit, allowing her to realise what was important in life.

What a loss!

Neal, this is a link to your Flickr page:

but I can't see any pictures of Terri there. You may have marked them as not for public viewing.

I had a message from Peter:

>>
Details are fixed now: Funeral on Thursday at 12 noon, starting with prayer service in my house (or in front of, if too many). Her body will be here in the meantime. Anybody wishing to come can contact me for directions at petsch51AThotmailDOTcom .
More news: Yoda, Terri's world famous cat, is sick since Terri passed. Please include her in any prayers.<<

I really hope a few of her hootoo friends will be able to make it.

Thanks for this info! I just messaged Peter on Facebook to ask for basically this. xx

Can i Add that anyone that did wish to go to the funeral, i will be leaving dublin at about 9am to go to Tubbercurry, and i can give lifts there and back later in the evening, if that is any help.

I may take you up on that, as it's much easier for me to get to Dublin than to Tubbercurry. What time at Heuston station?

TRiG.

trig i'll mail you.
