Terry was such an important member of our Oncology Outpatient Clinic at AJH in Newburyport. She was our beloved Tuesday Volunteer/Retired RN and was well loved and respected. She was very kind and helpful to both patients and staff. We miss her so.

Dear Ron and Family,

Tom and I are deeply saddened to hear of you loss. We were not notified of Terri's passing until after the services. When I think of my childhood I have fond memories of Terri. She was my sister Carol's best friend and when she was around she was like a big sister to me. Once when I was a little girl living in East Boston, Carol and Terri were babysitting me and I became ill. Terri was in nursing school at the time and called the doctor and my parents, while we were waiting Terri took care of me and got my fever down. When the doctor arrived he told Terri she was going to make a great nurse someday, and he was right. Whenever she was visiting or spending the night at our house she always made me feel special. I always thought she was sweet, gentle, beautiful, very special. I will never forget her. We surely wouldn't had missed her funeral services had we known. We are heartbroken over this loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the pleasure of working with Terry at the Hunt. She always there with a kind word and a shoulder to lean on. She was a great co-worker that will be missed.

To Terri's Dear Family,

I just want to say how saddened I am at Terri's passing. I will always remember her as the vibrant and dedicated nurse and friend that she was.

I can still see her bustling around the Hunt where we worked together, today, just as then. She always had a smile and pleasant and friendly remark for everyone.

It always amazed me that Terri never complained about her circumstances, when the rest of us were grumpy over just having a cold. She always remained dignified and professional.

Now she has surely "earned her wings" and can rest comfortably in her beautiful and peaceful new home.

My prayers are with you all, and surely with Terri as well.

Godspeed, Penny Foss
