Teri's Angel Page
This page is dedicated to the memory of Teri
Fennell Biggs who passed away following a courageous battle with pancreatic
cancer. You can learn more about her by reading an article printed New Year's
Day 1997 in the Antelope Valley Press. Teri's Story
There was also a follow up article printed in
the March 25, 1997 issue: March 25th
There were some very special
"Angels" who helped look after and care for Teri while she was waging
her battle against cancer. The women of the West Palmdale Mom's club are to be
specially thanked. Lyndee Poulson, Sue Luther, Melanie Teller and Kim Manton
were a godsend to Teri and her husband Tom. Mrs. Morden and Mrs. Lopez at the
Desert Christian School were also very helpful in providing proper daytime
comfort for Teri's five year old daughter, Elizabeth.
On March 29th, a memorial service was held for Teri in
Palmdale, California. Here are some of the things people had to say about the
way Teri Bigg's life has touched so many others:
Teri's Husband Tom Biggs
Teri's friend Lynndee Poulson Lynndee
Teri's friend Cheryl Hipke Cheryl
Teri's friend Jola Peil Jola
Teri's friend Melanie Teller Melanie
Here is a lovely poem of
unknown authorship:
God saw you where getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And Whispered, "Come to me."
With
tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A
golden heart has stopped beating
A clever mind is now at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He takes the very best.
