My heart breaks as I pray for the loss of your beloved wife, daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. Terri was a very loving and giving person and cared deeply for patients. She was one of the best clinicians that I ever worked with. Working with her was an honor. Terri supported me as a friend during the loss of my brother, and I will always remember her loving kindness. My family and I will continue to pray for your family.
