Today Terri lives in harmony with the Amish and has built lasting relationships that go beyond what anyone could have thought possible. From the grace that the Amish showed Terris family from day one, to the visits and ongoing care Terri has given to the victims and their families, no one could have foreseen the love and community that have been forged from the fires of tragedy.Let Terris story inspire and encourage you as you discover the wonder of forgiveness and the power of God to bring beauty from ashes.
