Teâore Terry comes to his mother in dreams.
Three months after he was fatally shot in Winston-Salem, on Valentineâs Day, Teâore comes to Velma Terry. âHis spirit is strong and I believe it is strong because his murder is not solved,â she said last week. âHeâs comforting his mother, letting me know heâs got me.â
Terry also draws strength from a group she helped start for Black mothers facing challenges, never realizing she would personally face one of the worst of those challenges: losing a child to gun violence. âTheyâve just been giving back what I gave to them, so it was kind of like the roles have reversed,â Terry said.
