I never had the pleasure to have met Ter'rese or the smile that so many say that shown on her face, day to day..................but I wish I had. May her memory live on in the smiles of others faces we meet.

I did not know Ter'rese personally but I wanted to offer my condolence's to her family and friends. It's such a terrible tragedy that she had to die so young, but at least she will be remembered by all of us here at the MBTA.

it is with tremendous "pride" this morning to be a member of the Boston Carmens union, when sister Terrese Edmonds family needed our help in their times of trouble WE DID NOT WAIT OUT THE STORM, WE STOOD TALL AND LEARNED TO DANCE IN THE RAIN. 

TERRESE YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED ALWAYS!

We all grieve for you, our young sister. You will always be part of the MBTA family. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

One thing that we are guaranteed in life is that when we are born we are destined to die. We mourn, because we will miss the presence of the living being. We mourn because of the manner inwhich a human life is removed from earth. God has to unfortunately open up the eyes of the Blind by making statements "BIG ENOUGH" to Awaken all. This precious "CHILD OF GODS" was removed from our presence "EARTHLY" God saw fit to need another "ANGEL in "HEAVEN" To the Edmonds family. May Love, Peace, Joy, Hope and our Heavenly Father's merciful Grace be with your family. I pray he embraces you within his bosom to heal your sorrow. May God Bless and keep you.

ALTHOUGH I'M ALSO A T DRIVER, I DID NOT KNOW TERRESE. BUT ONE LOOK AT HER PHOTO SAID IT ALL, AS TO WHAT KIND OF PERSON SHE WAS. ONE CAN'T FAKE A SMILE SO BRIGHT. I WISH I HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING HER. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY, TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SHE'LL STAY IN ALL OUR PRAYERS AND HER SACRIFICE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two shining eyes at rest,
God broke "our" hearts,
to prove he only takes the best.

Terrese, your smile will always send a message of joy to all of you brothers and sisters of 589. You will be missed. 

- Dan Henry #9578 Barn Captain 125 Bennett St.

My Brothers and Sisters,

May we borrow the strength from Terrese's smile, to carry us through today. May we borrow her courage to help us keep our heads held high and proud, knowing, we may have lost a sister but we found an "Angel".

- Jim Ross

Hello family and friend when I got the new flash I was home and just had dinner. and just couldn't stay there I had to do something, so I left the house and went and got a mbta bus, my heart went out to my fellow employees and passenger we carry everyday. I stay out there until 1am. we'll miss her and i'm sure will never forget. GOD BLESS the family and friends.

 - Bro. Lee Creech

It was not your name I knew or the color of your hair, It was the smile on your face the day I saw your picture appear. That's the day tears ran down my face. I only knew you in passing, and I called you "Babe".

MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND YOUR T FAMILY. MAY GOD ALSO BLESS YOU TERRESE. 

- Michael C. Tsoukalas

Ter'rese became and remains part of our family at the MBTA. As a Greenline CSA, I fondly recall the times I would be blessed with her smile and the high wave of her hand, greeting me when she arrived at the station.

Please hold, forever so close,
the memories that you keep,
within your precious heart,
forever so deep.

Ter'rese continues to smile,
as she walks beside us now
and guides us along our journey of life.

Learn from her teachings
of how she lived her life,
for she knew the secret of life
and that was to give.

She was a "true" spirit and she will always remain one.

Jim Ross/2090, Greenline CSA
