I still think of Tersh as I continue to work with the Overlook residents. Passing by paintings I know he loved at the Met, I see him with his camera, enthusiastic about the art before us and the program we created together. He continues to be a source of light for me and may his memory always be for a blessing.

Elaine, I am remembering Tersh more than ever, as I am now a pt at Chatham Family Practice. I remember the last time I saw him was there, years ago, when I escorted an elderly pt to the practice. We were so excited to see each other that we jumped up and down like school children! He was a great husband, father, and physician, an all around good guy, who will be forever missed. With sympathy for you and your family.

Each year I present my work to the medical students affiliated with Overlook and each year I mention Dr. Murdoch as a true ally. His commitment to integrating the arts into medical education will always be my guiding light as I continue the work we shared together. May his memory always be for a blessing.

How would Tersh be handling the crisis we are entrenched in now? Im certain he would be the voice of reason, compassion, comfort, assurance and knowledge.
Everything will be fine.
Listen for him in the stillness...
