19. I'm so sad to read this news about Terri.

Mon May 12, 2014, 01:11 AM

May 2014

I'm also going through a tough period in my life and overdosed. She contacted me via DUmail at the end of last month and we exchanged a couple of messages that provided encouragement to me. She regularly posted on some of my OPs and I admired her as a kindred spirit.

I'm not very far away from your location and would be interested to attend a memorial service for her if any are being held.

Please accept my deepest condolences and pass it along to her family also. I will miss seeing her posts on DU.

I am going to cross-post this in the Texas Group since she was an active participant in that group so that others will see it.
