Nurse, mentor, friend...always loved, never forgotten

My deepest sympathy to your Family.I admired Mrs. Thompson for her deep and caring commitment to the Elderly. She was a good role model to many and a constant source of positive influence always. It was a privilege to know and work with such an intelligent and caring person who was so willing to give so much of herself to others.May it give you some small measure of comfort to know so many others share in your loss.God Bless and keep you folded within his loving care.

My aunt Terri will be dearly missed by many people. My heart goes out to Jennifer and Julie and everyone else that Terri touched.

Jennifer, my very dear friend and co-worker, I am here for you when you need me anytime. I am very sorry for your loss. I know your mom was a very wonderful and special person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless

My prayers go out to Teresa's family. I will greatly miss her!! She was such a mentor and inspiration to me and the one thing I will always be greatful for is the fact that she believed in me and fought hard for me!! Teresa, I love you rest in the lord.

My fondest memory of my aunt Terri was when I was a child, and we were on our way to go shopping at a local store in Kankakee. As we were walking up to the door, I noticed my shoes weren't tied. I leaned down in the parking lot to tie them again for what seemed like the thousandth time that day. As I was about to finish, I looked up to find a car about to reverse on top of me. Luckily, Aunt Terri was watching me and yelled at the driver to stop immediately. She protected me that day and taught a careless person a valuable lesson without escalating it into a bad situation. Her strong spirit, ability to handle a dangerous situation with care, and willingness to put others first was something I always looked up to in her. She will be greatly missed and always loved. My prayers and condolences to our family, friends, and loved ones near or far.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Terri she was a wonderful lady havent seen her for years. Lots of memories from our younger years though. Sending piece to all.

Terri was such an amazing woman.  She was strong, smart, caring with an awesome sense of humor.  She supported me through some hard times and got me started in a career in nursing.  She taught me so much.  She has a special place in my heart forever!!!  My prayers to all the family!!  God bless!!

I am so sorry to hear of Terri's passing. Terri is an amazing woman- she could always get things done at the drop of a hat!  My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. I feel blessed that she was my friend.

Terri Jo, You were with me from the beginning and I don't know how to tell you how much you taught me.  I miss you already, and I am coming to be with all your daughters and we will honor you with our love forever.  I can picture you with Joni...  It is your homecoming.

Terry, I wish I could tell all the stories that we have. All the times we moved you and even moved you twice in one month. All the things we went through with your kids, good and bad. Sorry we lost contact through the year when you moved away. May God Bless the Family . Don, Vera, Travis & Debbie German and Nikki Kunce and Bubba

Some of my fondest high school memories were times I spent with you, Terri. You were always so smart and funny and wise beyond your years. Sending peace and love to you and your family. Debbie Cox Plunkett

Dear Kelly and Kim I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending you all love.

God blessed everyone who had the privilage knowing her. I know she will be missed. To all of her family and friends.You all have my deepest sympathy.

Terri Jo, Sisters are forever.  You were there the day I was born and led the way all throughout our young times.  And as we aged, you answered so many questions for me about kids and cooking~~then we even got to run away as grown women too.  I remember Terri's Turkey Hotline on Thanksgivings.  I remember the last Thanksgiving with Dad, and I spilled all the gravy down the heating vent.  My mind is flooded with a running movie of our lives. Now I am going to take care of your girls as best as I can even that new baby boy on the way.  I miss you already and forever you will be my teacher.  Love, love and more love.  Your sister, Kim.

We send our heartfelt condolences to the Thompson family at this trying time. Please know that Teresa was a very integral part of the Emeritus family, she was a constant support. She will be missed.

Teresa,  I truly love and respect you not just for being a kind and caring nurse, but also for being my support, mentor and friend.  I will always be grateful I had the opportunity to tell you how much you are loved.  May your light shine on in your co-workers, friends and family. God bless and keep you "oh Wise One"
Namaste'
