Teacher's Pet

Last Sunday my DH, known here as Teacher's Pet, passed away while we were in Virginia visiting our daughter and her family. Terry has recently been experiencing problems and had just spent a week in Methodist hospital in Indianapolis. They released him on Monday, October 5. As we drove from there to Virginia, he became increasingly weaker so when we arrived I took him to the ER at UVA on Thursday. He was diagnosed with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, a deadly disease to someone who has had a compromised heart for the last 22 years. They tried everything to get rid of the infection, and thought they were winning, but he developed septic shock and lost his battle.

Terry loved RVing and loved this forum where he shared ideas about MinnieMee, our RVision TRail-lite 213. I still have her at our place we had just bought in Florida. I am currently in Phaeton Place, our 40' Tiffin and will drive her back to Florida as well. My plans are to sell/trade both and get another B+ type, with a different floorplan.

If you wish to read his obit, I have it posted here:

  • Thanks for sharing your travels together with us, and this sudden change. Your family here grieves and prays for you all as well.
  • Dear Dale Ann Pace,

    Your loss must be devastating. I hope you find comfort in knowing that a prayer to God has been made, for your comfort and for your loneliness. I pray that your family and friends help to fill a massive void in your life. May you be "whole" again, and soon.

    And know that God is only one prayer away.
