Christine - Office Manager
Terry's Fairwell!
After much thought and consideration, I have decided to retire. It was a very difficult decision. I truly loved my job. After 19 years I have gotten to know and loved many of you, you have become part of my family. It was my honor and pleasure to help you with anything you needed. Many of you know it’s not easy to deal with insurance companies.
You will be in good hands with Christine, I taught her everything I know and she will take care of you well. I’m starting a new beginning which I’m looking forward too. Traveling will be high on my list. 

Wishing you all the best.
