    Words can’t explain how heavy my heart is due to the loss of one of my favorite cousins, Terri Clemons Belshe. She will truly be missed. I remember when she first called me while tracing the family tree. I knew instantly that we were related because we both love to talk. When I met her at the first family reunion in Kittrell, NC, it was on. She jumped out of her seat to help me as soon as she saw me. Of course, Jack was behind her. Over the years, our love grew stronger and stronger. She was the reason that I looked forward to attending the Clemons Family Reunions. I knew if she was there, we were going to have a ball! She had such a big giving heart. Whenever I needed help with flyers and church programs, I knew I could always depend on her. She was awesome in graphics designs. I called her my “Photoshop Queen!” I will always remember our bible studies too. I told cousin Terri that God had called her to preach. She knew and lived by the Word of God. She explained scriptures in a way that I could understand and not forget them. On our last conversation last week, she reminded me that flesh and blood cannot enter into the kingdom of God. I knew then that my dear Cousin was ready for her transition. I know I will see her again one day so this gives me solace knowing that she’s in a better place. What a precious gem she was. Rest in peace my beautiful loveable Cousin Terri. I love you but God loves you best. To her husband Jack and my beautiful Cousins Magalene, Transis, Beverly, Gary, and Tony hold on to God’s unchanging hands and to each other. Thank you for sharing her with me. Love you all.

    I had the privilege of meeting Terri back in the 80’s and back then I notice that she had a wonderful spirit about herself. Even though I have not seen or spoke to her since the 80’s Terri and her husband briefly communicated over the phone with me approx 3 years ago and they both volunteer to help market my business for free. All I could think of is “Where do you find these kind of people any more” Once again I had to remind myself that God uses his flock to help one another just in time. Rest in Peace, because the Lord has you. May your Husband and family find peace during this time.
