Together for Terry and Mary: A Community’s Love
Friday September 27th, a tragedy struck our community! Unfortunately one of our own families got that heartbreaking phone call.
Mary and Terry Neudeck life long residents of Portville were involved in a MVA. Unfortunately with heartbreaking news to the family and community Mary did not survive.
Terry was Mercy Flighted to ECMC where he is listed in critical condition yet stable. His injuries include a compound break to his arm, broken ankle, broken pelvis, and internal bleeding. He has now opened his eyes, shown signs of communication and gone through 2 surgeries successfully.
When people like Mary and Terry play such a meaningful role in their community, its those who love them dearly by all who know them is when we believe that strength in numbers Is what covers Terry, Denah, Jeremy, Dustin, Leslie and this whole family in Prayer!!
These 2 emulate what it takes to have in a strong, FUN, loving, caring marriage that they built there life on! How to love others, their community, firehouse, family BUT Nothing was more special to them than the kids and those grandkids!!
I think something we can all do in Mary’s honor is Love the way she loved, GIVE A HELLO TO THE STRANGER IN THE store, fight for those you love, always be someone’s light when the world seems so dark and dull and PAY IT FORWARD!!
SHE WAS A HUGE BRIGHT LIGHT IN OUR COMMUNITY, LOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW HER! let a piece of her light shine on through all of us!
Terry— FIGHT LIKE HELL!!! We are all praying for a strong recovery!!
Love you Mary and you will be so missed!!!
As a community we can help relief some of the financial burden. This is a tragedy and they both have touched all of our lives in so many ways! Per the family: they know that the community is in a what can we do phase. On behalf of the family I have set up a GO Fund Me to help offset any financial expenses via Hotels, medically, travel, etc for this unfortunate tragic situation. Please give what you can. No amount is to little.
Thank you all
