We lost a dear member of our family. Terri Neitz, who was Janelle's aunt, lost her 3 year battle to cancer but earned eternal life in heaven. Terri had many challenges in life but faced all them with a good attitude. She is survived by her two daughters Sara (26) and Stephanie (23).
Here are a few fun memories of Terri:
When I asked Megan what she remembers of Terri she said "she would always kiss and pinch our cheeks"
Terri and the girls would often celebrate Christmas with us at the Wentz house. For about 4 or 5 years in a row Terri always gave me flavored coffee as a gift which was always very nice. The funny thing is I don't drink coffee and she never noticed all those years when we sat after a meal and everyone was asked it they wanted a cup I always declined.
Janelle remembers, as a little girl, putting on Auntie Terri's high heels. She loved wearing heels even when she was going through treatments she wore these high heels to a family event.
Her obituary can be read here. Everyone wore red at the funeral and you can read the obituary to find out why.
