My beloved husband Silas Neil Teeter passed away at St. V Hospital last Thurs. 6-25-15. The MICU and it's dedicated and kind team of medical professionals gave every once of their energy to save Neil, but it was his time to leave us. I feel Mr. Noonan must have contributed greatly to making St. Vincent such an amazing place. Both Neil & I have been patients there many times in our lives, and we were never disappointed.
Monday, 6-29-15, Neil's memorial service was held at Ruebel's. Again, I have the deepest love and appreciation for their staff.
With sincerest respect,
Linda Teeter
May God bless you.

It was with sadness that I learned of Peter's illness barely two weeks ago. Pam, I appreciate having been able to talk with you by phone at the time. It was a joy knowing your family in South Bend, working with Peter at Holy Cross and being neighbors just down the street from one another. I recall the wonderful evening we all had in Little Rock just a few years ago. Kindness is what I remember most about Peter ... and a wonderful love for the Lord. May Our Lord reach out to comfort your hearts at this time, and may His Eternal Light shine on Peter. God bless you. Carolyn sends her prayers, too. -Dave
My thoughts and prayers are with you. You have many beautiful memories to cherish.
Love,

We just became aware of Peter's passing and would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your children.
Peter was truly special. He was a "Difference Maker", always encouraging those around him. He was a gentile giant, soft spoken but a powerful communicator. He made us all better people.
Love,
Lynn & Dana
