  1. I've googled her name and can't find an obituary or anything. Maybe we could make a donation in her name to Chester's Place.

  2. CW, I love that idea! I was wondering the same thing about a service for her. I have got a card for John I need to walk out to the box so the mail lady can get it headed his way!

  3. I just called John and left a message. I started crying again because Terri's voice is on the voicemail. OMG..

  4. Oh Jen, Here is my virtual shoulder for you to lean on. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I am here for you.

  6. I spoke to John earlier this morning. Terri of course, always thinking of others is donating her organs. After that she will be cremated. At this point it doesn't look like a service will be held, most of her closest friends are far away and the cost for services is more than John can afford. John is currently having lunch with Terri's mom and sister.

    Does anyone know if the KittenMaster knows???

  7. I hope John is aware that Terri might have had life insurance through her job. Sometimes it is paid for by the employer, even if it is a low amount. I know I had life insurance through my last job for which I paid $1 a week. It was a $10,000 policy. That would really help him out, I'm sure.

  8. Maybe we can do something for John, he's alone with the kitties and has to deal with all this himself, emotionally, mentally and financially

  9. How about a memorial fund that would go to John?

  10. Emma, I was thinking the same thing... Like CM says, he is all alone with 3 kitties to raise.

  11. I think that is a great idea.

    Posted 2 years ago by cricketsmama #

  12. I would love to contribute to a fund for John. As hard as it is for us, he has to be having a very rough time.

  13. You all, I just hate to think that there would not be a service of any kind for Terri. No one with such a huge heart should go without having prayers and remembrances said. What if we set a day and time and had a service here? We could send our favorite prayers, hymns, stories, and our memories of Terri. It could then all be sent to John.

    Is that a totally wacko idea?

  14. No I agree, she needs a service of some sort. We could do that.

    Posted 2 years ago by cricketsmama #

  15. WWM count me in! Whatever we do for John, I am in on that too! Please let me know, I feel so helpless here! After all everyone has done for me it is time I PAY IT FORWARD!

  16. I wonder what day would be good? Thursday? Wednesday?

    Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  17. WWM that is not at all wacko...It's a beautiful idea and I agree..A TDK memorial service for our dear Terri. I know if it wasn't for her I doubt I would have ever clicked on the "chat" I had never been in a chat room before. Terri invited me over to the cafe and like so many of us here she welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home, or part of the family as she liked to say.. We would want to try and pick a time that day and night timers would likely be able to attend.

  18. I agree with a memorial fund for John and a virtual memorial. I could use Petsmart to send catfood for Bogman and Ginger. I'm sure John's not really feeling up to looking for petfood. If we could get him to tell us what he needs most that would help. I know in a regular memorial people bring over all kinds of food and casseroles. It's just an idea.

  19. You're right, 2bp - about the time. That's kind of hard considering all of the different time zones. I wonder if around 4:00 pm EST would be good?

    Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  20. I don't know if anyone is nearby but losing soul mate then have to try to cook is a horrible feeling. What about this site? Has anyone used it or another one?

    Also it has sympathy meals;

  21. Wow, Buttercup, what a great idea! I just checked out the website and they deliver nationwide. You can purchase one day or five day meals. They serve four people so one day might be good for several meals for John.

  22. You know, this is something that we should also consider for Paul. He emailed me and told me how difficult mealtimes are, to prepare food and then eat alone. I plan to meet with him for a meal, hopefully sometime this week. My schedule has been crazy.

    Posted 2 years ago by Catwoman #

  23. CW, I think we should think of that for Paul as well. Do you have his address? Also, is there anything you can think of he DOESN'T eat? I wouldn't want to send him something he doesn't like!

    Posted 2 years ago by mollycat71 #

  24. I know I'd feel better about him if he has easy to prepare food in his fridge and stuff for kitties so he doesn't have to worry too much while we support him the best we can. [[[[Everybody]]]]

  25. The meals are a wonderful idea. And I can imagine how hard it is for the men. I remember visiting the husbands of my hospice patients after the wife had passed away and they were so grief stricken that little things like meals and laundry were just huge obstacles.

  26. When I send John's card I am going to include something for the cats.

    Posted 2 years ago by mollycat71 #

  27. So, a service - do y'all think that 4:00 pm EST would work?

    Posted 2 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  28. Although I know John is a good cook, I doubt he can focus on any tasks right now. That is a great website Buttercup. And yes, we should send some meals Pauls way as well. When I spoke to John earlier he said he would still like to meet for dinner next week, he said he knows Terri would have wanted him to go.

    Posted 2 years ago by 2bpurring #

  29. Yes for Paul too,that's good.

    Posted 2 years ago by Buttercup #

  30. WWM - I think 4 pm EST would fit for all corners of the world....
