    It's past my bedtime, but I can not go to sleep without coming here and sending you my best wishes for your comfort, ease of breathing and that you are feeling loved by all those around you and by all of us on here who think of you so often. I know you got kicked out of Hospice once, so I have every belief that you are still twinkling your eyes at people and laughing at your situation. Cyber (((hugs))) to you Teri, sleep well. Fondly, Sarah

    hey Teri 

    Hoping you had a peaceful Memorial Day.  Wishing I could send you some of the amazing strawberries I picked yesterday.  They were so good I went wild and picked thirteen pounds!!

    Hugs to you always

    Hi Teri,

    I've been out of town for my daughter's wedding and just catching up with my favorite threads on BCO.  Wanted to stop in and wish you a peaceful night before I fall asleep here on the east coast.  Think of you often and hoping you are comfortable!

    Hugs, Glenna

    good morning Terri. Hope you have a gentle day. Watching two cardinals in the bird bath this morning and thought about the simplicity of happiness.

    It's pouring straight down here, next to the Atlantic. But, it's lovely in its way. Everything is getting a needed drink - and roads are probably getting flooded. Actually, I am grateful for the rain as I managed to annoy my back somehow yesterday while hooking up a hose to water flowers I had just planted in some pots. I have been walking bent over like a crab ever since. Humph! I'm going to take a long, hot shower to see it that will help. 

    I thought about you yesterday as I was poking around our barn, and I told my husband about your rescuing Forrest and giving him such good home for so long, then making sure he would be cared for after you could no longer do it. He thought what you did was wonderful, which it was. 

    I hope you have been kept pain free and have been able to breath reasonably well. Best wishes, Sarah

    I just called and spoke to the organization that is caring for Teri's horse Forest. Her story is on its Blog. Thank you, Bon, for bring it to our attention.

    I was told Forrest is doing spectacularly well. He's gained a lot of weight and is turned out with a group of mares and is a very contented horse. For those who might want to donate to Forrest's care, the information is at its website:

    Donations can be made online at the website, or sent by check to:

    Lost Hearts and Souls Horse Rescue

    I know that Teri said she gave her brother instructions to let us know, but I am getting nervous and anxious. Maybe it's just the passing of anacortesgirl today. I am feeling so out of sorts.

    Caryn I know what you mean.  Crissy's passing has upset me so and missing Teri.  Went to the horse blog today.

    Ladies here is an answer from Zebs Equine Sanctaury

    My dears....all you need to do to let Terri know that you are thinking
    about her is to lift your eyes up and tell her. Terry passed away last
    month, blessedly knowing that Forrest and her pups have all ended up in
    loving homes.

    Thank you so much for being part of the village that helped one woman and all of her furry family to find peace.

    Ask my best,

    Suzi

    I looked for an obit but didn't find anything...not that I'm a good researcher or anything. For the last couple weeks I kind of felt different posting here...like not as connected as before. 

    This is the thread that seriously restored my faith in human compassion. Thank you Teri and everyone else! Love to all. And Teri, I will check up on Forrest every once in a while :)

    Kjones, I know what you mean about a "different feeling" here lately. So quiet. May our blessed Teri rest in peace; I am happy for her that she was able to take care of her animals, that she is finally free from the difficulties breathing and pain that she was experiencing. Broken heart doesn't even begin to describe my feelings, as I am sure most of you are having similar experience right now reading these posts. Sending special lovingkindness to all who have been here supporting Teri these last months.

    I had an intuitive feeling that she might be gone. I tried to research a bit but I didn't know her last name. I wonder when she actually passed away? Today has not been a good. Learning of the passing of three of our members. We always know it's lurking in the shadows but it's not any easier when it happens.

    Oh no! This is simply too much to take. Selfishly I've been hoping for a little word from her again, not wanting to have her slip away just yet. RIP dear Teri. I am so sorry your life was cut short by this hideous disease.  RIP

    W are so heartbroken yet again -

    she last signed in on 5/12, but hadn't posted since 4/23. I feel like it would be important, to me, to know when she passed. Could the equine rescue folks give out that info ?

    On page 12 of this thread Teri gave the link to her artwork. Her info listed there says her name is Teri Hansen and I tried to find anything and could not. I have really found this thread comforting in how many of us helped each other, not just Teri.  Warm Canadian hugs to all, Patti
