Sad News re Terry / Daisy and Delilah's Mom

[Freedom]

Oh Gosh, I can't believe this. I've just had a message on FB from Terry's daughter. I will just copy paste, as this is all I know:

I just wanted to let you know that my mom passed away yesterday. During her knee replacement surgery on Friday, she went into cardiac arrest, then into a coma and never came back to us. Thank you for your friendship with her. If you don't mind, can you please let her Pet Talk friends know? Thanks again. Take care.

I have written back w/ sympathy, and asked about the dogs, and if we can send cards (those of us who wish to) and where. Will post as I get more info.

[Freedom]

I have more info:

Thank you Sandie. I think we are still in shock. She was doing so well. Her new doctor was wonderful, well respected. All signs pointing in the right direction. I live in NC, the rest of the family is here. My addy is XXXXX. My brother's addy is XXX. Her good friend Kathy will be taking the girls and caring for them. Thanks again for your friendship with my mother.

Send me a PM if you want the addresses; I just don't feel right about posting them on a public forum (am I correct Karen, anyone could see them?) The brother lives in FLA, the daughter and rest of the family are in NC.

Edit to add: Karen also has the addresses, you can PM either one of us. I may not be online much, due to my Dad being in hospital. Please feel free to PM either one of us!

[pomtzu]

Oh no. I can hardly believe this has happened - she was way too young. Terry was always such a sweet and compassionate person, and I think that everyone loved her. She went thru so much this past year or so - it doesn't seem fair. I'm in tears of disbelief and sadness.............

[Freedom]

Me too Ellie. It is not supposed to happen this way. All this with a knee replacement?!!!

[mrspunkysmom]

NO, this is so sad. :( I didn't know her that well, but I know she was a good person, pet carer, and mom. After all she went through, and then this.

Say hello to all our friends at the Bridge, Terry. Prayers for your family.

[Grace]

OMG, I feel like I've been kicked in the gut. What a horrible, sad thing to happen :(

[Bengalz]

[moosmom]

OMG, I am stunned and totally speechless. :(

[robinh]

Just so shocked.....my sincere condolences to the family. Did not know her well, but do know that she was way too young.

[Karen]

How terribly sad! Whenever anyone is going in for surgery, they always list "death" as one of the possible complications, but we never expect it to happen. I am glad the girls already have a new home lined up, that would give Terry comfort. Sandy thank you so much for letting us all know.

[Cataholic]

This is completely shocking, and very, very sad. My sympathies to Terry's family.

[Alysser]

This surgery was supposed to help her...:mad: I don't get this, WHY her??:(

Oh my god, I cannot believe this. Terry was one of my favorite Pettalkers, always so sweet, always so sensible, just always an amazing person. :love: I am so sorry to her family.

Rest in peace, Terry! :( Say hi to Sassy for me, I remember how much you loved her. :love:

[kaycountrygal]

I am so sorry to hear the news about Terry. I didnt know her perosnally but yet I feel as if I did. My condolences to her family. I read that her dogs will be cared for but I'm sure they will miss her. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss.

[lizbud]

I'm in shock. Poor lady. She was such a sweet & kind person to go through so much distress
with these surgeries.:(:( It is good to know that her "girls" (D & D) will be cared for.

Condolences to her family. She will be missed around here.:(

[fritz03]

There is a memorial page for Terry on www.allensummerhillfuneralhome.com no mention of a service or an obituary.

[phesina]

How very sad. Deepest sympathy to her family and all who love her and grieve her so much.

God bless you and bring you comfort.

[RICHARD]

Wow,

Sad, sad news.

RIP.......

[gini]

Such a horrible event for the family. I am so sorry for your loss.
May she rest in peace.

What a dear soul her friend is to take her pets.

[kittycats_delight]

I am absolutely stunned. Terry was always and I mean always so kind. It really freaks me out as well. The fact that things like this happens with surgeries such as knee replacement in this day and age is unbelievable. So scary, so sad. RIP Terry...there must be one hell of a party at the bridge for you. You were one fantastic lady.

[shais_mom]

I just saw Pam post on her page on Facebook and am simply stunned. I always enjoyed "talking" to her - one thing I know for certain is that Phred was one of the first in line to welcome her with open arms.

[luvofallhorses]

Annette (chocolatepuppy) told me about the news last night. And, I didn't know what to say.. :( This is just so, so sad. She was always so sweet to me and others on this forum. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. If someone can PM me the address, I'd like to send a sympathy card.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

.....My sincere condolences to the family! This is so sad, it isn't fair....

[Casper]

Oh my gosh. I hardly have time to even check in to PT these days, but I did today, and never ever expected to hear this. Like everyone here, I simply adored her.

She was a lovely lady and will be missed SO much. :(

[Bonny]

I really didn't get to know Daisy & Delilah's Mom or Phred. By everyone's comments here they sound like darn nice people. My sympathy's to her family.

[dab_20]

I am so shocked to hear this. Terry will be greatly missed here on PT, she was a wonderful and compassionate person. My very deepest condolences to her family. How awful... :(

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I'm so sad to hear this. She lived so close to me and I always intended to meet her, but never did. I can't believe she's gone.

[Scooter's Mom]

I'm saddened to read this news.
My deepest condolences to Terry's family.

[sasvermont]

It is sad to hear this news. She was a nice person and had only nice things to say here. She will be missed for sure.

I hope her family can make sense of this event. It seems untimely to me. She was still young. May she rest in peace and have a delightful time meeting up with Phred. Take care of her Phred.

Sad, sad, sad.

[Alysser]

Due to some issues in my area, I feel like I haven't properly assessed this, or acknowledged this.

Terry was such an beautiful individual. She was always so caring, and she always posted in my Sassy threads. No matter what. I think she probably posted in most if not all of my threads. She was one of the first members that "invited" me into our big family. I have missed her posts terribly over the lasts few years, but she even posted in Mikey's threads whenever she could. I will always miss her around here. She was a great person and I think she always had us on her mind.

Rest in peace, Terry:love:

[sparks19]

Oh my gosh... I am just seeing this. I am in shock. I can't believe it. I will miss her greatly around here :(

[cyber-sibes]

So sad to hear about Terry. Deep sympathies to her family, and hugs to Daisy & Deliah.
Its quite a shock to lose a parent/spouse so unexpectedly, wishing peace and comfort to them.

[momcat]

This is so sad, I'm shocked to hear of Terry's passing. I extend my deepest and sincerest sympathy to her family. They all will remain very much in my prayers.

[Lilith Cherry]

I am so very sad to read this news! Sincere condolences to her family. You will be sorely missed Terry.

[smokey the elder]

Such a shock! My condolences and prayers for Terry's family. I'm glad the dogs are in good hands.

[lvpets2002]

OMG I Cannot Even Absorb This Sad Stunning News.. My Condolences && Prayers && Heart Goes Out To Terry's Family..

[Catty1]

There is more information in her memorial now: http://www.allensummerhillfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Terry-Sylvester/#/Obituary


Terry Wells Sylvester left us peacefully on October 27th, 2012, surrounded by family and friends. Terry was born in Greensboro, North Carolina and moved to Ormond Beach in 1959. She resided in Volusia County most of her life and during her final days. She was a graduate of Seabreeze High School, class of 1969 and Daytona State College. She is predeceased by her parents, John McMillan Wells and Colleen Janet Wells, both her maternal and fraternal grandparents and her husband, Clayton Sylvester. She is survived by her two wonderful children, Larry Schaefer of DeLand, Jennifer Marshall (Sean Kent) and her beloved grandson, Landen Blane Kent – Ashville, NC, brother Mickey Wells – Tampa, sister Janet Wells (Randy Irwin) – Flagler Beach. She also leaves her pets, Delilah and Daisy in the loving care of her longtime friend Kathy Stein of DeBary.
Throughout her life, Terry was a very kind, compassionate and caring person. She devoted all of her time and energy to her family and friends, always willing to listen and lend a helping hand. She had an amazing talent for every craft that she attempted but her quilting talent was phenomenal. We will all cherish her many handmade keepsakes that we were so fortunate to receive from her.
One of her lifelong dreams was to, one day, have a place to care for animals in need. To honor Terry, we ask that, in lieu of flowers a donation be made to Journey’s End (Journey’s End Animal Sanctuary, PO Box 220163, Glenwood, FL 32722) or to an animal shelter or rescue of your choice. We will miss her every single day yet we find peace in knowing that there was a very special place in heaven reserved for her. The family will celebrate her life on Thanksgiving Day. Online condolences may be left at www.allensummerhillfuneralhome.com. (http://www.allensummerhillfuneralhome.com.) Allen-Summerhill DeLand is in charge.
