In memoriam: Terri Childs
Mother of the Bride
Terri, a devoted mother, home-cleaning business owner, and a huge Beatles fan had a penchant for art, coffee and chocolate. She loved to doodle on whatever paper she could find and was a hairdresser and photographer in the past, even taking pictures for bands such as The Allman Brothers in her hometown of Macon, Georgia. Those that have met Terri will tell you that she was one of the nicest people they ever met and she worked hard to teach her daughters empathy and kindness. “While my mother will not be able to be with us physically and will be greatly missed, we know she will be with us in spirit. Lyle and my mom got the opportunity to get to know each other and she had nothing but good things to say about him so I know she'd be thrilled.” -Kim
