Our Sympathies to the entire family. I wish I had more opportunities to get to know her, but the times I did have that opportunity , Teri was someone who always had a positive view on everything. I wil never forget when my father-in-law was diagnosed with his cancer, how she made him feel hopeful. I know she fought the battle with vigor, and now she is in a place where she can be pain free and watch over her family. Its way too soon, but we never know when god will decide to call us home. You are in our prayers. Harry and Cindy Roberts.

I want you to know that you have my deepest sympathy. I first got to meet Teri when I was Ryan’s and Abby’s preschool teacher. Later, I became a daily substitute for CV and had the joy of working many times along side of Teri at Fritz. You are in my thoughts and prayers.Robyn Reiff
