A Tribute to Terri and Her Dad

Couldn't quite get Miles to cooperate with the sign

You may know Terri or you may not. Let me tell you, if you have met her you will not forget her. She is boistrous, funny, generous, and has a heart of gold. She came into our lives just over two years ago soon after we moved to Lincoln. We knew her and her family from church but didn't really know them well, and were surprised when she answered our plea for help with Amelia. Terri has become a source of laughter, joy and hope in our family. Amelia and Miles love her (and Gene and the kids..and the dogs..and the extended family).


Terri has consistently spent time with us on Wednesdays. She takes Amelia to therapy or watches Miles so I can take Amelia to therapy in peace. She does the dishes and folds laundry, plays with the kids so I can go shopping and takes Amelia swimming in the hot tub at her house. She is amazing.

Recently Terri, her dad Bumpo, and Steve installed a ramp for Amelia at our house. They worked in the heat for two days as a labor of love for our sweet girl. What an amazing act. We love you both.


Our beautiful and so helpful ramp!

Miles likes to use it as a ramp for his bike!

If you know Terri tell her how amazing she is. If you don't know her, thank God with us for her love and generosity.
