Dear Ron: How fortunate we were to have known Teri and shared some special times with both of you at MYC and Florida. We will always smile when we think of the many trips you both took checking out boats for us in FL, only to find one in CT. Teri was very special with her soft words and mischievous smile when engaged in "dock" sessions. We will always remember how much fun we had at MYC and when us girls would get up and dance to "Man I Feel Like A Woman". Teri was right in there with us. What fun it was.
How lucky Teri was to have you Ron these past 15 years. You brought such love and joy to her life after Al's passing. She had wonderful times in FL and at MYC. May these memories and all your memories be a comfort to you during this difficult time.
Teri, we will miss you always.
