I met Teri the night she was admitted and I am very sorry for your terrible loss. The very short time I spent with her she touched my life and made me laugh and that forever will be etched in my heart. Thank you for sharing her even if only for a moment in those moments I had learned alot about her!

Teri,

To the family of Teri Berriman - please except my sincerest sympathies for your loss. I worked with Teri for many years at IDPH and always found her to be knowledgeable and sincere. She was extremely pleasant and had a good sense of humor. The residents of the long-term care facilities in Illinois lost an advocate and a friend. She will be missed, but not forgotten. God bless you all.

We were both shocked and saddened to hear this sad news. Teri was the most helpful and supportive advocate for residents and the Ombudsman Program. Teri will be missed by all. Our loss and Heaven's gain. Neyna and Sally

Phillip and family, this was a hard one for us to take. Happening so sudden, we all felt for you and your friends and family. Although I never got to meet Teri, hearing from Tanya and reading her obit makes it apparent she was an amazing nurse, mother, friend, sister, etc...our sincere regret for you and your families loss.

I knew Teri as a strong advocate for quality health care and a quality of life for people living in long term care facilities. She was a valuted spokesperson for Illinois Department of Public Health on projects in which I, as a representative of the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, was invovled. My sincere sympathy goes to her son and all family members. She will be missed.
