My deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Mrs. Lank. I am terribly sorry to learn of her departure. My heart is so heavy right now that I am truly overwhelmed. I am just hearing the news and finding it so tremendously hard to accept it. Mrs. Lank was a WONDERFUL woman whom I adored!! She was so very helpful with many different issues revolving around my son and his ADHD. She also helped me in many ways as well. She helped me open up and learn how to be a better wife to my husband and to see some things in different ways involving motherhood. She really was an awesome person whom I grew to love!!! She was such a blessing in my life. I will NEVER forget her and her kind spirit, it was so comfortable and carefree. She will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always love her. She taught me things and shared things with me that will forever be cherished. There was a cd that I made for her that I put her name on and titled it 'soft rock'. All of the songs on it have special meaning to me in some way and I wanted to share it with her. I hope that the cd is with her husband and warms his heart in some way. Sharing it with Mrs. Lank was very heartfelt for me. :0 Again, I am so sorry that she is no longer with us, but please know that she left pieces of her loving heart here with us that will last a lifetime. With love, LaToya and Tyler Blount 12 Little Country Place Savannah, Ga. 31406 912-428-3279

I was shocked and saddened to read of Terri's death. She was a student in several psychology courses taught by me at Armstrong. After forty-some years of teaching, I certainly don't remember all of my students, but I will never forget Terri. She was bright, friendly, very well organized - just a pleasure to have as a student. We are all very lucky to have had her in our lives.

Dear Keith, Jacob, Lizzie, Don and Judy; Words could never express the love and compassion that I had for your beloved Terri. Terri and I worked together for almost eight years, we started on the same week in October 1999. Terri always had a smile on her face, never complained and helped me in times of horror during the near loss of my 15 year old daughter. Her husband Keith and children Jacob and Lizzie were the great joy and love and comfort and her drive for overcoming obstacles. I will always remember Terri and the miracles she made in my life. A true Angel on this earth my love and best to you all, I am just down the road if I could ever be there let me know. She touched my life in the best possible way and I will cherish my memories of Terri for all my life. God be with you! Dawn Laxton-Martin

- maryanne wilharm, savannah, GA

Over the recent years Terri was able to take a cold, distant, indifferent teen and turn her back into the loving daughter I knew she could be. She got us through the rough spots, and there were many. She gave me back my family and brought peace to our lives, a precious gift for which I will always be indebted to her. The sun will shine a little less in her absence, but know because of her, there is now light in the eyes of many, where darkness once prevailed. We will miss you terribly.

Keith, I met you years ago while working Relay for Life with Sav'h Prob and had the recent pleasure of meeting Terri when I took my 7 year old to see her during a difficult time. Upon leaving her office, he asked when he could go back to see her again. She was such a special person and I so enjoyed my brief time in her presence. I am very sorry for your loss and it is truly a loss to many others.

I knew Terri from graduate school in Augusta. We were good friends during that time but as happens all too frequently, we lost touch. Of all things, Facebook allowed us to reconnect. We sent messages back and forth and found out that we both had gotten married at Tybee Island...in some small way, it seemed like we hadn't drifted so far apart. My thoughts and prayers are with Terri's family.
