HALSEY, Terri Blake Of Middletown, age 57, prematurely left us Tuesday May 31st, 2011. She was a loved daughter, wife, mammy and my dearest mother. How do I honor her in words? They don't say enough. How do I honor her in life? I could never do enough. How do I honor her in death? I will do it all. I will live her life with mine. By the day, by the year. Each moment to the fullest. She was too good for us all. She gave more than she took. It is her turn now, to rest and receive. For you mom, I love you. Terri will be loved and remembered by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom and Gwyn Blake. Her husband, James (Tim) Halsey, his son, Chris and grandson Kemper Halsey. Her sister, Lisa French with daughters, Courtney, Rachel, Kelly French and grandchildren Justin, Aubrey Hunter. Lastly, Lori Ronto Evans, daughter of Terri and Roscoe Alan Ronto.
