This tribute's for a woman who we truly do adore

And even though we love her, we know Jesus loves her more


Was born in grandmother’s bedroom

A gift from God and mother's womb

We're glad doctor made that house call

Now she's a blessing to us all


The job that she loves most in life, is full of sweet reward

And when she cleans the church, she's really serving her Dear Lord


The toughest time in Teri's life 

When filled with sorrow and with strife

'Twas when her only sister died

Who'd always been there by her side


She's worked Social Security ~ Answering service then

At Farmers Home, and secretary for police captain 


The oldest son is Jonathon

Has wife, Sha and their boy, Greyson

As far as Tim and his wife, Ann

A winter baby is the plan


There are some days that can be tough 'cause Teri has MS

And that's when you'll find her in prayer, to Jesus, she says "Yes"


Her family and husband, Tom

They feel her love, her peace, her calm

The youngest son is Jeremy

She is the best mom she can be


She has Polly, her grand~chicken, and also grand~dog, Gus

She lost count of how many cats, her heart is enormous 


And her most cherished happy perk

To watch Greyson while mom's at work

She takes care of their animals

In all directions, her heart pulls


So Teri, Happy Birthday, may your day have no regrets

And hope you will have many more and nobody forgets



And while we celebrate for you, will you care for our pets : )
