<div>Is a public memorial service/ celebration of Tere's life planned? If so, could it be posted on the Ed Linguistics list?</div>
<div>I know many people would want to attend as her life touched so many.</div>

internationally recognized figure in the TESOL field, Tere was devoted<br>to her students and was at her happiest when teaching and mentoring,<br>whether here at Penn or at one of her many 'stops' around the globe.<br>
<br>Our deep appreciation goes to all of our colleagues and friends around<br>the world who have supported Tere and shown your care for her especially<br>in these past months. I am absolutely sure that she knew how<br>
much she was loved and honored by us, her colleagues and students, past<br>and present.<br><br>May she rest in peace,<br>Nancy<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Edling mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Edling@lists.sis.utsa.edu">Edling@lists.sis.utsa.edu</a><br>
