Terry Munson was my best friend. She was my world. To me she was known as Nanny Terry. She was my Grandmother and the best one you could ask for. I talked to her every day of my life, at least twice a day. I spent the first six years of my life surrounded by her and her love. She has been with me since the moment I was born, and will always stay in my heart. There isn't a day that I wake up and don't think about her and how life has changed so much since she's been gone. I remember all of our adventures we went on and all the memories she has left me with.

I would give anything just to see her face and hear her voice one more time. Even though she is gone, she isn't really gone: She lives in us each and every day. Now she is my Guardian Angel, always in my heart and in my mind. Watching over me every day and always being there to listen — even if she is in heaven!

I miss you so much, and I love you, Nanny Terry! You're forever in my heart!

I came across this website by mistake. Well, maybe not by mistake. I was reading what a beautiful person Terry was. My heart goes out to family and friends. She will be in my prayers.

I just remember her smiling face, how you were always laughing when you were in her company. The world is a sadder place without you, Terry. You are truly missed every single day.

I was assigned Theresa "Terry" Munson for the Facebook and Internet memorial for 9/11 victims called Project 2996. I need to post something tomorrow for the project, and I need to know how to reach family and loved ones. I am a newspaper journalist and freelance writer. I read the memorials here, and I am convinced Terry was a lovely person. To reach me via e-mail: dtsmhp@sbcglobal.net. Rest in peace, Terry. I am sure you are missed every day, and we will NEVER forget. NEVER!

I hold in my hands a note asking me where was I (in her terms) because she had to use the ladies room at my house. In elementary school I was a year ahead but we did "click" when we became friends. Our lives intertwined and will be within my heart forever. Our daughters were born within months of each other sharing the same name. Many times she exceeded the call of friendship with her selfless ways. She was a "best" friend in every aspect of the word. Time separated us, but we always got together at the most abstract times to relive our lives as children. I sincerely doubt anyone like her will ever touch my life again. Terry was "one in a million" and she has left her footprints on my heart forever. She left a wonderful legacy with her daughter Christine, her "Granddaughter" and "Grandson" whom I know she worshiped. Her "Mom" was a great loss to her but they are pals in heaven now. This was a story of "getting together," and now it's too late. Regret will follow my life. I miss her and will always have a hole in my heart for her footprint. May God bless you for all you were and are to so many.

Love ya,
Carole

There is not a day that I don't think about Terry. She was such a wonderful person and like a mother to all. She would make what you thought was the worst situation not seem so bad once you were done talking it out with her. She had a heart of gold and the soul of an Angel. I know God had other plans for her when he took her home that day. It is obvious she accomplished what he sent her here to do: The love and kindness she shared with us all is proof. God Bless her soul and her family and friends she left behind.

I knew Theresa my whole life, and although we were not of the same age, I do remember her smiling face always.... I was one of the lucky ones who shared in one of the best cruises with her and our friends. We all grew a bit closer on that cruise and had the time of our lives.... I have recently lost my son, Kevin, at the age of 38 after a long, hard battle of 2 years with cancer. I know that Terry is looking after him up there for me and that they are in a better place. We will all be together again one day, and that smile will still be on her face.... She was one of the nicest persons I have ever met....

Terry and I were little girls on East 9th Road. We both played with our Tiny Tears Dolls, went to school together. I have many wonderful memories growing up with her. She was a good mother and a caring person, always there to go that one extra step. I live in PA, and when I found out that Terry was in the Towers, I was very upset. I know that she's an angel shining down on us.

Christine, I just to wanted express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your writing was a beautiful tribute to her, thank you for sharing it. I'm sure you are right, she is in a better place now with God, looking down with pride.

Theresa "Terry" Munson died at the young age of 54. She was a person that was so alive.  When she walked into a room you knew it. She almost always had a smile on her face.  She was a kind and compassionate women and a friend to many.  People came to Terry for advice and guidance. If she could she would give you the shirt off her back.
Her life was devoted to her daughter, her mother, and her two grandchildren: a granddaughter (her pride and joy) and a grandson ( the apple of her eye). She witnessed both their births and was never so proud and happy.
Terry Munson was my mother and my best friend.  We talked several times a day and saw each other more than parents and childre who live close by even though we lived 1500 miles apart.  The sun rose and set around Nanny Terry as far as her granddaughter was concerned who just turned 6 years old 10 days before she lost her special friend.  Her grandson was only 9 months old when his grandmother died and has no memories of her except the memories his sister and mother give him from the adventures and good times they had with Terry.  Terry was adventourous she loved to travel with her daughter and grandchildren (she was a gypsy at heart), she loved to Whitewater raft, camp, and be involved in any fun that had to do with water.
Even though Terry is gone she is still alive to her family. She may not be on this earth but she is always in our hearts and souls and always will be until we take our last breath.  She is now in a better place than where she left us behind and I am confident she is taking charge there.  We love her and miss to etenity.
We take comfort in knowing she spent her last moments with her co workers calming their fears.  She was the "Mom" of her unit and many looked up to her.
