Well, first of all I knew her as Terese! She and Rick lived next door to my husband, Mel, and I in the early 70s in Portland, Oregon. We became good friends and had many fun adventures together. She had a great sense of humor and had a funny Christmas poem that would send Mel into gale of laughter! They had a dog, Jody, and Ryan was born when we were still neighbors. Mel and I eventually bought a house and moved away from the duplex but we tried to stay in touch until she moved back to Michigan. Terese got in touch with me again about 2 years ago and we caught up and shared both of our medical situations. I am so sorry to hear of her passing but Mel and I both share great memories of her.
