in honor of Terry.

I remember Terry Cook when I was at Texas Wesleyan. We were both taking biology/chemistry courses that were difficult. I lived in the nearby Flamingo Apartments on E Lancaster and Terry lived in a house. I would often visit her and remember her long straight brown hair. I remember we would drink wine sometimes and would discuss the hard courses of Dr Street, the biology professor, and the organic chemistry class. I will always think of Terry as a good friend who was there for me when the studying got rough .

I just learned of Terry's passing, my condolences to the family. Med Tech internship would have been so much more difficult without Terry! She was a positive and inspirational person.

Terry will always remain in my memory as the vibrant, fun and loyal friend that she was. As I think of all the good times we had together travelling, going to movies, parties at her home and just plain old late night phone calls, they become too numerous to name. Terry was always ready to go wherever it was, ready to lend a helping hand wherever and whenever it was needed and brought a positive outlook no matter what. If you said there was a 70% chance of rain, she'd say there was a 30% of none, especially if it might interfere with any trip she had on her agenda - especially to New York! She loved the theatre, and together, we enjoyed it from Dallas to New York followed many times by dinner at one of her favorite steak houses. I have re-lived almost every moment of those times since her death and will treasure her friendship for as long as I live - a piece of my heart is with you, Terry. I know you are driving the heavenly highways with your beloved Bailey by your side now - there will never be another Terry Slater, and I am so blessed to have known the one and only!
