Terrett Family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of grief. Aunt Louise was an extremely sweet and caring person. She always seemed more interested in knowing how we were doing, than how she was doing. Your loss, is God’s gain.
Donovan, Heather and kids.

To All of the Terrett’s: Our families have intertwined and gone back a lot of years together.
Beatsie will be truly missed by us all. Our family has great memories of her (being your neighbor) out on the Tongue River. I can just see her visiting with Dad and filling him in on all the happenings.
Love to you all, Joe, Cathy, Christa, Collette, and Cari.

My sincere condolences to the family of Priscilla Louise Terrett – May you find comfort in your loving memories, beautiful pictures and in recalling the many talents of Ms. Terrett. God did not purpose that mankind suffer and die and has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24) Our loving Creator has promised that soon pain and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4). The Paradise that was originally promised for the earth in the Garden of Eden will be restored. (Psalm 37:29) Please be comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
