Teresa I miss you terribly and will love you forever. You live on in my heart and the hearts of our children. I know you are not in pain anymore and that gives me peace but it doesn't fix the hole in my heart without you here. I Love You more than you will ever know. Until we meet again in Heaven. Kiss and hug Norah

I first met Teresa in August 2007 during her senior year in nursing school here at Wichita State University. She was in my Maternal Newborn Nursing class and later we came to know each other as professionals as she cared for labor patients--first for five years at VIA St. Jo and then for the past six months at Wesley.

The things I will always remember about Teresa were her commitment to excellence in family-centered care and her love of teaching. Because she cared so deeply about her patients, she naturally wanted to ensure they received quality care that was individualized to meet each family's needs. And because she was a life-longer learner herself, she recognized the importance of role-modeling care excellence to the many students who she worked with--many of whom later became OB nurses themselves. Teresa exemplified the very best of nursing leadership at the bedside.

Faculty here at Wichita State University School of Nursing will miss Teresa's smile and contributions as a nurse and are hopeful that her family and friends will take comfort knowing that her spirit lives on in the lives of the many mothers, fathers and newborns for whom she so skillfully and lovingly provided nursing care.
