It was such a privilege and delight to get to know Terri Ann and your wonderful family and maybe help a little bit in her care. I was so sad to learn from Susan that this sweet angel had passed. I will always remember her wonderful smile and hugs, and the special way she and Jason supported one another in therapy. She touched everyone, and her memory will always be a blessing. My prayers are with all of you.
