Thank you Dawn, it is one of my favorites too
alex we love you !
 
This memorial website was created in the memory
of our beloved one Alexandra Faith Terry who was
born in Rice Lake, Wisconsin on January 25,1990
and passed away on June 29,2006 at the age of 16 in
Franklin, Kentucky.
We will cherish her memories and remember her forever.
I still miss her more and more with each passing day. And
still have a very hard time with excepting that she is gone. I
try, but find it very hard! I am on her site and other angel
sites everyday. And for those who stop to visit to light candles
and leave condolences or tributes for her, You will never know
how much this comforts my heart.
When I go to the other sites to give back in return what you
gave me, my computer won't always download some of them.
This frustrates me terribly that I can not return the kindness
given me. If you do not see my candle given in return, please
know that you are also in my thoughts and prayers.
To know that there are so many caring people out there who
want to share our angel's memories, is what lifts or hearts in
so many ways. THANK YOU! Laura
- God may look down upon us, But he wraps his arms
around you - My wonderful daughter (mom)
- There is no greater love, than that of a child
- From the moment they placed you in my arms, you
snuggled right into my heart
- Nothing in life can hold more joys or more tears, can
make me more proud, or more tired, or give back
more rewards than being your mother
- My wonderful daughter - too beautiful for earth
i miss you terribly
My beautiful daughter and only child, was given to me on January 25, 1990
at 1:44 a.m.
My Alexandra received her angel wings on June 29, 2006.
She was in a automobile accident just a couple of miles from our home.
She was air lifted to Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville, TN. Where she passed
away in the presence of her grandmother and I, and many staff.
I will never forget that day, the day my baby girl was taken from me.
Alexandra had many friends and family, 136 of them attended her service.
And many more back home who wanted to, but could not make the trip.

A year has quickly came for us who are still dealing with her loss.
I know she is in God's hands an will never have to endure lifes many
hardships. But still I have so many unanswered questions and long for her
to be with me. I dreaded the day that she would get her license. And when
I thought about it, it terrified me ! It was not that I didn't trust her or
think that she was not responsible enough. She was a very cautious driver
and always wore her seatbelt. But when ever she would ask to drive, my
stomach would drop, it did this every time. I dreaded her asking because
the feeling scared the crap out of me. And now, I wish I would have
heeded it's warning.
On the day when it came time to make her funeral arrangements, I knew
only one thing. My daughter would not be buried ! I wanted her to be with
me. And in my heart I felt that if I buried her, she would be gone forever.
The pain was to much to bare. Without uncertainty I had Alex - my little
girl cremated. So that in a sense we would still be together. And when my
day should come, our ashes will be joined and we will be one once again !
I miss you Alex, A part of me went with you and I will never be the same !
love mom
Memories of You
The angels led you safely home
But you left somethings behind
Treasured gifts beyond compare, those of a special kind
You left behind your gift of love, you gave so faithfully
You left behind the ones you loved,
So many cherished memories
And from early dawn to setting sun
Each day our whole life through
Our hearts will always hold a special place,
for memories of you

Written with a pen sealed with a kiss
If you are my friend, please answer me this.
Are we friends or are we not? You told me once but I forgot.
So tell me know and tell me true, So I can say "I'm here for you."
Of all the friends I've ever met, You're the one I won't forget.
And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.
I'll give the angels back their wings, And risk the loss of everything.
There isn't a thing I wouldn't do, To have a friend just like you.
- Written by Alexandra Terry -
 
It did not matter the color of your skin. Or the origin of your
race. It did not bother her if you were handicap or disabled.
She did not mind if your mom and dad where still together
or divorced. Nor did she care if you were rich or poor. To
her everyone was equal and deserved to be treated that way.
She always felt that everyone was worthy a friend.

Why is there no name to describe this pain ?
I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path god laid out for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared , a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free !

will play that part. I try each day to step ahead. But it only
feels like you just left. I miss my daughter, Your beautiful
smile.
I Miss You - My Baby Girl ! (love mom)
 I miss telling her it's time to get off the phone.

TO SOME I MAY BE NOTHING MORE THAN A DISTANT MEMORY
MY LIFE ON EARTH IS OVER NOW, BUT DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
I KNOW I LEFT WITH OUT WARNING,
BUT GOD'S WORK FOR ME WAS THROUGH.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO STOP THE THOUGHTS OF ME,
BECAUSE I NEVER WILL OF YOU.
SOME MAY HEAR OR SPEAK MY NAME
AND VANISH THE THOUGHT OF ME,
WHY IS IT NOW THAT I AM GONE NO ONE STOPS TO SEE.
I'M CLOSER TO YOU NOW THAN I EVER WAS BEFORE,
I LOVE YOU ALL JUST THE SAME AND WILL FOR EVER MORE.
SO PLEASE DON'T LET MY MEMORIES SLOWLY FADE AWAY...
FOR I'M STILL INSIDE YOUR HEART YOU SEE,
WHERE I WILL ALWAYS STAY.
DON'T THINK OF ME AS GONE FOREVER BECAUSE SOMEDAY
WE'LL MEET AGAIN.
KEEP ME CLOSE INSIDE YOUR HEART UNTIL
GOD TELLS YOU WHEN.
YOU MAY BE THERE FOR MANY YEARS NO ONE EVER KNOWS,
SO LET MY MEMORY STAY ALIVE AS
THE LOVE INSIDE YOU GROWS.

Please I ask that you light a candle before you
go! So that her family knew you were here.
 
  
I miss telling her to clean up her room.

" NINE YEARS OF SKATE CITY " age 7
" FOR YOU MOM !" when she gave it to me ' 2006
thank you Angelina for taking the picture for her
I miss making her halloween costumes. She won first
place every year and always donated her prize back
to the funds for the following year.
I miss taking her to Skate City for her birthday party
every year. Each birthday when I asked her what she
wanted to do, I always got the same answer.
I miss when she and I would run out to the four corners
to buy icecream and rent movies. Go home, make malts,
then sit up all night watching them.
I miss being in the car together going down the road,
with the music turned up and the both of us signing at
the top of our lungs acting like crazy fools.
I miss jumping on her bed to wake her up in the morning.
she was not much of a morning person. Now christmas
was a different story.
I miss how she always wanted to do my hair. " I wish I
would have let her !"
I miss when she would put her face in front of yours
and she would always ask, "Is there anything on my teeth ?"
LOL, I love you Alex !
Even though I miss her sooo much and at times it is hard
I can not help but smile!
If you were ever feeling gloomy, she would do anything
possible to make you smile. - That was Alex
Remember when -
 She used to collect turtles,
and her email address was turtle3030@
We do not need a special day, To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake, We know that you are gone,
And no one knows the heart ache, As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow.
What it mean't to lose you, No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still.
There will always be a heart ache, And often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory, of the days when you were here.
We hold you close within our hearts; And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.

The bear pictured below, is other wise known as
Mr. Bear. I gave Alex this bear on valentines day
when she was six years old. I have taken alot of stuffed
animals to the goodwill and library. But she insisted on
keeping him. And thru the years his name remained -
no other than Mr. Bear.

To anyone who would like to leave a tribute or condolence,
but can't find the right words. It's ok, just say what your feeling.
You don't need the right words to say what's on your mind or in
your heart.
Visit Alex's site often as you'd like, I know she's listening.

Help keep their candles lite and their
memories alive
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS THE
GIRL WHO
ALWAYS SMILES EVEN WHEN HER
HEART IS BROKEN
AND THE ONE THAT COULD
ALWAYS BRIGHTEN UP
YOUR DAY EVEN IF SHE COULDN'T
BRIGHTEN HER OWN .
'2004'
Rarely does one remember their dreams, or as there called,
sleepless dreams.
But there is this one dream I had when Alex was eight years old.
This dream, that I remembered, has been tucked in the back of
my mind for the last eight years.
Long time to remember a dream - but this one I could not forget.
Not only was it the dream that scared me, but what followed.
I dreamn't that I was sitting in a court room with Alex's dad and
the judge had just given him full custody of her.
I awoke to find myself sitting straight up in bed and crying. As I
slowly regained my thinking, I started to remember parts of my
dream and understood why I was sitting up and crying.
The whole thing, the dream, the crying, sitting there, it scared me.
I was so afraid of losing her ! And now my worst nightmare has
come true !
Not having her with me, I feel so empty and lost.
I ache so much for her to be here. I ache to hear her voice again,
to kiss her on the forehead and tell her " I love you. "
For her to give me that big beautiful smile when she wanted
something. And when the answer was " no ", ( always joking ) out
came the pouty lip and sad puppy dog eyes. She was very good at
this and knew it. Needless to say she usually got her way.
A little bit of a Diva ? Maybe so, but I would have given her the
world if it were mine to give.
I know that God called her home so that she would not suffer; but
still missing her so much everyday.
On March 1, 2007, one of Alex's close friends, Ashley Severson from Amery
Wisconsin went to join her in heaven. She too was taken by a automobile
accident. Born on November 28, 1991, she was also only 16 and a only
child. Ashley, who Alex called Sassy, was a beautiful young lady with a
wonderful personality. The three of us did alot of things together. I would
have to say our favorite was when we went to the smokey mountains. Fond
memories I will never forget!
Please say a prayer for her mom and dad, Jewel & John, to help them get
thru the hard days ahead!
Please also say a prayer for the family of Nicole Peterson, Ashley's friend
who was traveling with her.
Alex & Ashley, together always, forever friends.
WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
 I see you !

A HEART OF GOLD
A Heart of gold stopped beating, Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us, But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, The day he called you home.
To some you are forgotten, To others just the past.
But to us who lost and loved you, Your memory will always last.
