Condolences

Condolence From: David Lewis
Condolence: Rex and Stephanie,
I am so sorry to learn of Teresa’s passing, even if it is a little late. I have many, many fond and cherished memories of the time I spent working with Teresa at Alachua General Hospital, 6 East, where Teresa was one of my Preceptors after Nursing School. We worked together from 1987 until Teresa moved to Home/Hospice Care, and after I left AGH in 1992, we met again when I became a patient of our Hospital Hematologist/Oncologist, Dr. Bruce Stechmiller, where Teresa had become his Clinical Manager. I learned a great deal from Teresa, and I especially admired her ability to cope with any situation. I recall the Summer months when the Football Season would be just beginning at UF, and Teresa’s and Rex’s enjoyment of the games, and the calls I would receive at home from Teresa asking me if I wanted to come in early (so she and Rex could attend a game,) and the skills I learned in those early years. Teresa had a compassionate heart, and a scientific mind geared to management of patient care. She led through example, and had a ready smile for everyone. She had a remarkable sense of humor, and had a special affinity for helping those grieving to see the loss of life as a preferable transition to daily pain and physical struggle, and would gently lead families to this kinder realization. I think of those families often, and the wonderful providers, like Teresa, that AGH had for the community we served, and I remember those years with happiness and smiles. Your family is my heart, and on my mind, and I am praying for you all and supporting you in this difficult life transition. I encourage you to place your life in Christ’s care, and rest in the assurance that Teresa is peacefully and joyfully resting in God’s perfect eternal care. Love and prayers,
David Lewis (RN)
