My sincerest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful wife.
I had the pleasure of working with Teri and have many fond memories of the special events we put together and the joy those events brought to the employees at CDO.
Your pain of loss can be lessened with the joy that she brought you.

Teri I am going to miss you so much. Life has made many twist and turns for us. But when we got together it was like we had just seen each other the day before. No matter what, we both knew we were there for each other.
Everyone who knew you saw how special you were.
I know you will watch over all of us especially Pete, Monica and Ky.

Pete,
Cindy and I were saddened on hearing about Teri's passing. I saw her several times this summer at the golf course and she seemed to be in good health so, hopefully, the fact that she was healthy until close to the end gives you some measure of satisfaction. I did not know Teri well but on the occasions that I was with her, she always was so friendly and nice that I was always happy to be around her. Although this is a sad occasion, I hope in the not too distant future you can look back on your twenty years with Teri and consider yourself a lucky man. Roger and Cindy
