This is my wife's grandfather. We will miss him dearly. He always cared about the kids and would literally do anything for them. My wife also took that picture of him with the bubbles on the card shown.
My condolences to your family and all those that knew and loved him. May Terry's memory be blessed.
🙏🙏💔💔
Prayers for peace, comfort, and strength to who all who new and loves him.
So sorry for you and wife loss of of her grandfather🙏❤️
So sorry for your family’s loss. 🙏🏻
The nurse with the green glasses needs to be a spokesman for the hospital. She is articulate, you can tell she has a passion for her job.
Agreed she was an excellent representative of what Terry meant to everyone!!
Intelligent, compassionate and beautiful
She is so sweet
All the beautiful children who left us too early are surrounding and hugging him in heaven.
Beautiful 😍 thought. Including the patients that he lost. They can tell him how much they loved him, now.
Yes..how beautiful..although painfully bittersweet...He is and will be so.loved by the children...RIP🌹🙏
Oh, they are thanking him for the love he showed them❤
Stop it with your make-believe, childish, fantasy, religious BS. Grow up!
@@crow1994-bl SHAME ON YOU!!! Junior as an American has a right to create a sweet comment about a fellow American who cared for children and did it with love. You dishonor the respect shown here to Terry shown in the way a child would. You could have moved on but NOOOO you had to share your narrow outnumbered opinion to steal the joy of others!
A fool says in his heart there is no God. The very heavens declare God is real. Open your eyes, please, before it's too late. The very second your last breath leaves your body it is too late.
“We are forever better because of Terry.” What a legacy.
Indeed
How wonderful that his life touched those around him so profoundly
“We’re forever changed, but we’re forever better…” I cannot think of a more beautiful tribute. RIP
He was the modern day Patch Adams. The world needs more people like you Terry. I know you are blessing the heavens.😇
I don't know anyone in this story, I'm in NYC and just saw this video and decided to watch it. I'm so sorry for everyone's loss but what a beautiful testimony of such a beautiful person with such a loving heart- God bless you all!! 💖 💖💖
Sending heartfelt condolences from Toronto.💔🧸
I live in MS and from BAMA. Thank you, Terry.
Rest in paradise, Terry
Rest in peace Terry. Thank you for the care and love you gave your patients.
Rapidly progressing turbo cancers are exploding because of the mRNA injections that you people so proudly and gallantly took.
My mom battled breast cancer for 15 years and spent the last 4 months of her life in the hospital. Those 4 months proved to me that oncology nurses are amazing angels sent by God from heaven. Caring for children who are battling that disease, well those nurses must be the elite, special forces squad of angels. My condolences to Terry’s family.
If there was a god…cancer wouldn’t exist
@@joyfulnoise349What moral foundation are you standing on to say that cancer is “bad” or that human life even has any meaning??? Since you claim God doesn’t exist, why then act like right and wrong exist??
@Akihito007 傻逼神棍闭嘴
@@Akihito007God has nothing to do with what's right and wrong unless you believe in divine command theory. There are many moral theories people follow that have nothing to do with God. Why is Cancer bad? Utilitarianism says because It doesn't bring happiness. Concequentialist because the consequences is pain and dead. Your whole answer is wrong because you assume your beliefs are the only truth.
@@davidgpz Except you're stealing from the CHRISTIAN worldview by presupposing that TRUTH, GOOD and BAD are real concepts and ACTUALLY EXIST instead of just man-made fictions. The concepts you just brought up utterly fail to even explain the meaning, let alone EXISTENCE of actual happiness and pain apart from being excuses man makes to handle the meaningless of their lives and life in general. You LITERALLY have no moral foundation to stand on without God and EVERYTHING you are and do is completely and utterly MEANINGLESS!!! Your life is complete VANITY! Make all the excuses and flowerily language you want, but your life and everything in it has absolutely NO MEANING!
You can tell he loved his career from all the hearts that he touched.
What a beautiful tribute! He obviously left behind so many people who cared deeply about him and respected him. Rest in peace Terry!
He was my favorite nurse when I was in treatment and would pick to be my nurse everyday I was there. We stayed in contact on facebook and now he’s gone. He was the best man I’ve ever met and I will always appreciate him for being there for me when I was sickest. He invited me up to the hospital one day just to see me and visited me after my procedures and he never once treated me with rudeness. He has the biggest and brightest soul in this whole entire world and I thank God that he didn’t have to go through the same treatment he had to treat everyone else with. May he rest in peace and thank God he doesn’t have to go through the torture that chemo is.
@call76.....I understand what you're saying. I've felt the same way for loved ones that passed suddenly. Thank you for sharing your story.
🙏🏾💙🕊️
Beautifully said! ❤️
Truly an Angel on earth and now in heaven!
I was a Pediatric Hospice and Pediatric Burn RN, so nice to have men in nursing with children. It was a wonderful experience being there for the children and their families.
How amazing that girl was a patient and then became a nurse because of him. He sounds like an amazing person and incredible nurse. So sad he passed so quickly after diagnosis. He must have been ill or had symptoms before his diagnosis and to be so advanced ? He certainly was an angel to many children and now in Heaven. 💙🙏🏼
Colon symptoms can usually be chalked up to IBS or something….it said he had liver AND colon cancers. Double whammy. 😢
What a lovely tribute. We should all strive to be better people. RIP TERRY. I KNOW YOUR IN HEAVEN.
God bless you Terry! You’ve earned your wings! R.I.P.
Fitting that he should pass on July 18th, the Feast of St Camillus de Lellis the patron saint of nurses, the sick and hospitals. May he rest in eternal peace and happiness. Prayers of comfort for those who loved him and for those whose lives he so richly touched.
That IS Awesome ❣️.. I didn’t know That..Thank you❣️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Terry had a very well lived life. I lost my best friend two weeks after her cancer diagnosis too. It’s not fair. Rest in peace good sir 🙏🕊️
I’m on the edge of tears of joy. His love clearly made a difference.
RIP Terry...great job caring for cancer patients.
What an Amazing Nurse and human being! We need more Terry’s in this world! God speed!💙
Very sad. I have tears for a man i never met. RIP sir
Prayers for all that loved him and knew him.
The world needs more people like Terry. God Bless you Terry with love from England United Kingdom ❤❤
I'm so sorry such a beautiful person passed away. RIP.
Terry was my mom. She, too, was a nurse pediatric. Her patients loved her. She would often stay late to make sure things were good. Liver cancer sucks! She never drank alcohol a day in her life. 💚 Mr. Terry, you left a beautiful legacy. ❤
Terry "she" and your "Mom"? I'm confused, HE was a man. Is this a different person?
So sorry for your loss 💔🙏
Think of "Terry is my mom" as "this is exactly my mom"
????? Huh????
@@kayzeegirl972Awkward wording but what she meant is her mom was just like Terry, a dedicated pediatric nurse who also died from liver cancer.
What a beautiful testament to his goodness when patients and co-workers alike love you. My condolences to his family and all who loved him and whose lives he touched.
Remarkable man. Thank you Terry for all you did!
Incredible nurse. In the news we so rarely hear about the good nurses, but the ones that did something bad. During the time that I worked as a floor nurse, I prayed everyday that I would help my patients and not harm them. I was thrilled to see my patients get better. Nurse Terry has had a huge impact on so many children and their families. I hope other nurses will try to follow his example. My condolences to his family. Being a nurse is a calling, not just something to do until something better comes along.
RIP NURSE TERRY. YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY THE PATIENTS, PARENTS, DRS, NURSES OTHER staff members and friends. May the Lord's Perpetual light shine on him forever ✨️ 🙏🏼.
Inspirational nurse who touched the lives of many people in their greatest time of need and hope.
Few people leave such a legacy behind. Rest well Terry😢
God's angel on earth now has his wings. Thank you Terry! 👼
Prayer
Rip sweet man, your work here has helped many. ❤
My deepest condolences to Terry’s family and friends. He’s will always be a hero. Be kind to each other, because in this walk through life, you will unwittingly entertain angels. ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
He’s bringing a lot of joy to the kids in heaven ❤
My deepest condolences and prayers to his family , colleagues and his patients and all who knew him. I am so deeply sorry for your loss and may he rest in peace and always and forever be remembered!❤
RIP Angel Terry, Heaven is so happy to have their son back.😢
The biggest compliment is to have others copy and want to be like you. What a beautiful 😍 place to work. Who would have thought?
What a beautiful man to see his young patients smiling like that through major cancer treatment...what a blessing to the parents, as well...and then to "retire" and then return! What a blessing. ❤
"We are forever better bc of Terry." I can only dream of having someone say that about me in my legacy, but Terry actually did it ❤.
It was sad to hear the nurse that was his patient say that it happened so fast that they didn't the chance to take care of him like he took care of everybody else (and her literally) ❤
This reminds me of the cancer center that I go to. I have told them that they "almost make me look forward to coming here." 😊. Makes me think i should do more to show my appreciation for them. I think I'll do that now! He is still touching lives of strangers, too! ❤
So sad to loose someone so wonderful…Terry you shine on in Heaven…💫⭐️🌟✨🌈…🦋🇦🇺
What a life well lived. God bless his family, coworkers and former patients as they navigate through this difficult time. Wow, imagine our world if it was filled with people like him.
What a beautiful legacy he left behind. 🥰 May God give his family peace beyond all understanding ❤️
Beautiful, lovely story. Thank you for sharing your memories of such an extraordinary human being. May he Rest In Peace.❤
Put the lady with the glasses in your Hospital commercials, presentations to Donors and nurse recruitment!! She's authentic, cute, relatable, very articulate!
What a wonderful human. There are so many being diagnosed these last few years with cancers with rapid progression. So sad.
Yes, there are many being diagnosed and going fast…. I too am a nurse. RIP Nurse Terry! Job well done!
Sending love to all who loved him
May he rest in eternal peace
That’s heartbreaking children’s hospitals need more like him 😢😢😢😢
Tears are streaming as I read this. Cancer is ugly and continues to take many good souls to early. RIP Terry as you lifted many spirits and will be missed.
What a beautiful man, nurse and human being. Such a loss for the world. My condolences to his family, friends co-workers and patients.
So sorry 😞 for all of you that you’ve lost this loving and caring man. 😢
When people like Terry come into our lives, they leave beautiful memories and a special legacy that will live on forever. 💯
Take comfort in the fact that Terry’s still around and watching all of you with love ❤️ 💕
What a remarkable soul. Sending much ❤ from metro Detroit. Another angel....
❤ He sounds like a true gem 💎 ✨️ how lucky and blessed you were to know him. Everyone should be so lucky xx ❤ it hit the feels when she said, "we didn't get to care for him like he did for soooo many" 😢
So sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful nurse. It truly says a lot when someone is that inspiring that you want to walk in the same shoes as them. It is a unique credit. As a fellow nurse I share a little of your grief. One less soldier on the front line of hope lost to the disease he fought so long against.
My deepest sympathy to all friends and family. Children’s Oncology is a special calling. I’m retired from a major cancer center, worked just with adults. Could not do what Terry did. God bless him for easing the suffering of children 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What incredible memories! It’s such beautiful words that tell his story!
Aww, Terry will be surrounded by all the kids he helped, in heaven ❤️🩹 Rest easy now, Terry. You made such a difference in so many lives 🤍🪽
Sounds like such a beautiful man!! They need someone like him on every special and unique floor. Always be happy to share all your memories😍
AMAZING CAREGIVER. A Nurse from the HE❤️RT. May he R.I.P.
So heartbreaking. He touched so many lives with kindness and care. Prayers 🙏 for his family, friends, and patients he helped down a hard road. No doubt he's in heaven with no pain.
A true hero ❤ I volunteer in a hospice and love it there, however my hubby was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer a month ago. Before that he'd been a nurse in charge of an ITU. now he's had major brain surgery and will start treatment, probably next week (08/24) and it'll buy us roughly 12 months more with him, where without treatment we were told it would be 2 to 4 weeks. we renew our vows in a weeks time. But I can't believe how quickly our world collapsed around us. Now I'm going to be one of the relatives who I would normally look after and my hubby a patient I'd care for, as he is going to my hospice when the need arises and I know we'll have the best team caring for him and the best of friends to support me and our family too❤
So sad. He has his wings now and is seeing the children that he cared for that went home before he did.
God bless him for all the love and beauty he shared.
An Angel on Earth and now an Angel in Heaven. Terry will always be a part of your lives.
A nurse isn’t just what you do. It’s what you are.
This man sounded so wonderful. I mean this with kindness. while this man was diagnosed with cancer and it is sad that he did die, think about this fact is that he went quick and in not much pain (hoping that was the case) but will always be remember by those he cared for and loved in so many ways.
So sad. Condolences to all who loved him.
His service will always be a special memory for those that knew him❤A special nurse & special person.❤
Wow!! He’s an honorary HERO!! To the kids to the parents and dad beyond!!
What a Beautiful Soul 😢that gave so much if himself to those in need. May his precious soul rest in Peace and Rise in Glory ❤
You got your wings dear angel! You touched so many!
Oh….im crying! What a lovely man.
Terry left a beautiful legacy, thank you Sir
What a wonderful, loving person who gave of himself so unselfishly. My deepest sympathies to his family and his 7West family. May he RIP. ♥️♥️
Firstly, I'd like to say that my face is NOT leaking! Somebody is chopping onions somewhere in the world - that's my bubble, please don't pop it.
Now then, in just 3 1/2 minutes I have acquired so much admiration, respect, and love for Nurse Terry. What a treasure...
Even though the people that loved him are still spinning, dazed from just how quickly everything happened, for Terry's sake, I'm grateful. Sixteen days is a blink of the eye, I know - how do you prepare things, get affairs in order, tell everyone, etc.? But, for anyone that has seen someone go through end stage cancer, sixteen days can be an eternity. If anyone deserved a (more) peaceful passing, my guess is that Terry would be at the top of the list.
Thank you Terry, for every life you touched. May you forever be in peace.
From this story one can understand that this nurse was a true earth angel.may his memory be forever blessed🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful tribute to what sounds like a truly amazing person. God bless Terry’s loving soul! ❤️
His peers spoke of him with so much passion that I felt to have known him too. RIP!
What a great guy he was to these children. R.I.P. Sir🙏❤️🙏
Maybe it was best he went fast after the diagnosis. He didn’t have to suffer. Can you imagine what he is doing in heaven after all the love he showed so many here. Rip Terry❤
What a remarkable human being. I’m so sorry for his family’s loss.
Rest in paradise, Terry 🙏
Thank you, Terry, for making this world a more loving place.❤
I never knew this gentleman but i crying wit them rest in paradise ❤️😪
Deepest sympathy to the staff that worked with Terry.
I cried listening to this ; what a gift he had; 😢😔🙏
What a wonderful man & story. Rest n peace Mr. Terry❤❤❤❤
How devastating for his family, friends and co-workers. RIP!
A rest well deserved. Nurse Terry, you have changed many lives and memories of you will always be a blessing. Thank you many times over sir, you are a hero ❤ 🙏
Oh, what a great loss.😢 He has a special place in Heaven.
may God bless you all - thank you for all you do!
Sounds like a wonderful man. It was a blessing that he went quickly, and didn't suffer for long. God loved him too. I'm sure he will be missed for a long time to come.
What an incredible person
How I wish all nurses were a Nurse Terry. Someone who truly cares for their patients. All patients deserve a Nurse Terry. I hope in his final days he was rewarded with the same care he gave to others.
Bless this man and the lives that he touched. I worked on an oncology floor for a bit and it is so true... you'd expect the feeling of sadness and heaviness all around (and it sometimes is), but its actually one of the most peaceful places in a hospital in my opinion.
He was an angel on earth 🌍
His work on this planet was done. 😢
💝❤️💕 as a retired nurse this makes me want to go back to the bedside. How inspiring.
Beautiful tribute. Thank you!
