Dear Gerri,

My heart goes out to and your family for your devastating loss. Though I have not seen Teri for several years my recollection of her is of a sweet, quiet girl who was well liked by everyone and a joy to be around. Her notice in the paper was beautiful. She seemed to have accomplished so much in her lifetime.

With love and prayers,
