So sorry to hear of the passing of Terry. We graduated from Cooley High School in the same class; remember her very well. A sweet girl at Cooley. We connected off and on after the 2003 Cooley reunion. Had a nice visit with Terry in 2009... at her home in Yucca Valley. Hard-working trauma team member in Palm Springs. My sincere condolences to all of Terry's family. Rest in Peace Terry.

I am so sorry to hear of Terry´s passing. To her family I offer my sincere condolences. I worked with Terry at Providence Hospital in Southfield. We missed her when she moved to California but all looked forward to her texts. She fought the brave fight and I know she is at peace now
