 January 26, 1948 - May 6, 2001  Happy Birthday Terry You are missed. This is our memorial to our coworker and friend of many years, Terry Mossholder. We will never forget her. She enjoyed her work and did it with a perfection that is legendary. She came to work every day with such zest - always laughing and talking - and got right down to business ferreting out typos and mistakes with a zeal that caused word processing and the preparers many anxious moments. A familiar refrain was "Look at what Terry did to this report. It is covered with red marks." Terry had a great sense of humor, was very compassionate and was a great advocate of women's rights. Here in the office she generously supported every good cause. Her hilarious stories about the exploits of her cat boys kept us in stitches. I don't believe for a moment those cats can really talk. We miss her very much. We're leaving an extra space in our hearts for you, Terry. Stet. Do not delete. - Karen Revan  - Therese Valentine-Williams  She loved the arts and seemed to be an artist in her own right - with everything from her gourmet cooking to her green thumb that anyone would envy to her apartment that she took great pride in decorating. She visited every museum in NYC at least once, while probably visiting her favorites at least a dozen times each. A friend of mine got married in 2004. I wanted to find the perfect gift and wondered where to go. As if she were standing right there I heard Terry's voice say "why don't you try MoMA?" Terry even had me (the most non-artistic person in the world!) going there from time to time. I said "thanks Terry. I'll give it a try." ;) Sure enough, as soon as I walked in I spotted the perfect gift for my friend. She was having a medieval wedding theme and there was a beautiful medieval picture frame. My friend said she loved it and asked how I found that perfect gift? I told her a good friend helped me. - Lourdes Cooper  Terry often spoke of Judy - probably more than Judy knew. :) She was fiercely proud of Judy - there was nothing her sister couldn't do. If only Judy knew the reputation she now has to live up to. :)  This photo was taken during Iva's 100th birthday celebration. What a milestone - one that the family took great pleasure in celebrating!  Terry and Judy were very close with these younger cousins. You could sometimes think they were the parents as they took great pleasure in spoiling them with loads of birthday and Christmas gifts. John even got a chance to stay with Terry in NYC. The nation's long distance phone companies especially enjoyed the special relationship between cousins. :)  Imagine about a century of friendship when you look at this photo. This is Terry and some of her closest friends (plus one very happy dog!) after one of their infamous card games. One face that's missing is Terry's good friend, Judy, who was taking the photo.    Friend, please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near. I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight - I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach - I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach. I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around and the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond, The clear cool water in a quiet pond. I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine. When you start thinking there's no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze. I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on a baby's face. Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace! - Author Unknown
