Mom,
I don't even know where to start because no words ever feel big enough to hold what you mean to me. I just keep coming back to how much I miss you... your voice, your laugh, your presence. The way you loved me so loudly, so fully, and without conditions is something I carry with me every single day.
You were more than my mom, you were my comfort, my safe place, my biggest supporter, and honestly, my best friend. Even now, I find myself wanting to tell you everything, like I always did. I wish I could hear your advice, your jokes, or even just sit in silence with you again.
There are moments when the world feels a little heavier without you in it, but then I remember the strength you gave me. The way you showed me how to keep going, how to love deeply, and how to stand tall even when life hurts. That part of you still lives in me.
So very sorry about the loss of Terase. Her laughter and smile are what blessed me about her, which brightened my day. A life well lived and greatly missed. Thank you.
Dear Frazier Family,
Terase was a wonderful, caring person who, in her quiet and humble way, touched the lives of so many, especially here at Bell and Howell. She was truly a gentle and selfless soul, an unbelievably heroic person who never asked for anything, yet was always willing to give her all in everything she did.
Her kindness, strength, and spirit will never be forgotten. She will always remain in our hearts and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
With deepest sympathy,
BELL HOWELL LLC
My dearest schoolmate, it was hard to hear you are now now gone with the Lord. I remember those days in that those classes in the middle and high school. Hanging out on the terrace after we ate our lunch. Those phone calls and text messages on the holidays and birthdays will truly be missed, my sister, friend. Condolences to the family and other friends you created in the military and there after. Love, Heather, Tasha and family.
We send our sincere prayers and condolences to Areana and the rest of the Frazier family. Job well done Ms. Frazier, now take your rest. ❤️
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:1-3
Home sweet Home. We're just pilgrims in a strange Land.

To the Frazier Family,, I'm sending My Condolences to Your Family. Pam I am praying God will comfort Your Family at this difficult time.
To the Frazier Family,
With a heavy heart, I lift you all in prayer, trusting in God's promise that He is "near to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18).
Terase was like a sister to me during our time at Bell & Howell and beyond. She had such a pure and loving heart, and always spoke the Word of God with gentleness and truth, even correcting me in love. I will always cherish our conversations, especially the ones about her daughter (Areana), the dog, and the bird.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). May God surround you with His peace and strength in the days ahead.
Terase will be deeply missed and forever loved.
With love and prayers, ~Your Forever Sister~

"May cherished memories bring you peace during this difficult loss".
My deepest condolences to her daughter, Ari Phelps, her parents, my cousin Kim, and the entire family.
Where do I even begin when it comes to my dear friend and sweet cousin... a true woman of God—my beloved and faithful friend. Terase dedicated her life to being a loving mother, sister, daughter, and friend. But most of all, she was committed to our Father, Jesus Christ, making sure she fulfilled her assignment for the Kingdom of God.
Terase was truly one of a kind—a rare gemstone that heaven allowed us to borrow for 50 precious years. She was rare. She was valuable. And now, God has called her back because her mission here on earth is complete. Heaven needed that gemstone back in position.
My heart aches knowing I can't text or call and say, "Sis, I'm still here."I hold on to the promise of that great day when we will all meet again.
Ari, my heart breaks for you. But please know—your mother is resting from her labor. Everything she poured into you is a light that will guide you through every dark place on this journey. Keep shining, just as she taught you... until we meet again my beautiful friend Terase You will never be forgotten. Until then, I will keep hanging tough..😢I'll see you in the morning some sweet day. Prophetess Virginia McCabe Pastor Cedric McCabe
