Kyla Rock says
Teri worked as a temp in our office for several months. She had a big personality, a big laugh and a big heart. We hiked, talked about books and the geology club she loved so much. After we talked about books and music she brought a list of all the beautiful music she had and was willing to share. She took the time to burn discs with several books to share. I’m so sorry she is no longer with us but I’m grateful for the time I was blessed to know her. She will be missed.
Deb says
Dana I am so sorry for your loss. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Rhonda Tucker says
I’m so sorry. Teri was a genuinely lovely person and a joy to work with. The world will be a bit poorer without her.
Nancy Collins-Warner says
Dear Dana – I am so sorry for your loss of Teri! Sick at heart. And I’m so glad you have Nan and friends to be with you as you “take in” the shock and absorb the reality. Nothing prepares us for the death of a child. Others who have had this experience will find you and help you.
Of course, I remember Teri’s laugh! She had the most wonderful giggle and chuckle and outright belly-laugh, ever since she was a little girl. I hope that was always with her, unto the end.
Sending much love and deepest condolences.

Tree, you will be sorely missed. I will cherish the beautiful necklace you made for me. I always loved talking philosophy with you. Some of my fondest memories are with you in your pavillion on rainy days at SCA events. You always had a story to share.
Deepest sympathies,

Tree, very glad I had the chance to know you for so long. Talking music and old movies, singing along to Rocky Horror, discussing all your always interesting little items you collected over the years, SCA memories, or just walking around the neighborhood. You will be sorely missed. Thank you for being my friend.
Dana, and the rest of her family and friends, you have my deepest sympathies.
