Terri Dufek, a loss that touches deeply

Click to read Terri’s Obituary

We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn that Terri Dufek, has passed away. We came to know Terri and her wonderful family Roger, Brion and Renee through Rotterdam Little League where Tyler and Brion played on the same team. There’s no question that life circumstances have diverted us from keeping in contact with the Dufek’s like it was throughout those Little League years but we did cross paths with Terri from time to time and recognized her same sweet, thoughtful and caring disposition. Terri had an ability to acknowledge her remembrance of Tyler in a thoughtful, loving way with a gentle adoring smile. Although our eyes would fill with tears as we talked with Terri, we always walked away grateful and truly appreciative of her genuine, thoughtful sentiment. These types of encounters help us more than anyone will ever know. Somehow, Terri must have known that. Now, even in her passing, Terri continues to touch our heart with her remembrance of Tyler. May God hold you close Terri, as we know He will; and may He provide some sense of comfort to your loving and devoted family during this tragic and difficult time.

Terri, the gift of ‘you’ to your family, your community and humanity will surly be missed… thank you, for all you have given!
