Terri taught me violin lessons for about five years in the 1980s. It was her husband Henry that sold me my first violin and your mom later upgraded me to a better bow and violin. Due to my work I could only come in on Saturday mornings but throughly enjoyed my time with her. Now that I am in my seventies I no longer play but intend to donate that violin to some young student with a love for playing.. a fitting tribute to your mom. As for a tree, a close friend recently gave us a Japanese maple which we haven’t planted yet. I think we will now see it as Terri’s tree. What a nice idea. We pray you have found peace in her passing as I can just imagine Terri in God’s symphony with a big smile on her face.
