••• From HRP Mamas:
As many of you may have already heard, Kerri Pedersen, much loved local Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Tribeca Pediatrics, passed away due to complications from cancer, on December 16th.
Kerri took care of hundreds of local children and touched the lives of so many parents with her reassuring calmness and her joyous smile. She did all of this while battling an aggressive form of breast cancer and while being an amazing single mom to her two children. […] She held our hands as new moms, gave us hugs, made us laugh when we were crying or worried, and we and our kids loved her for it. Kerri will be missed immensely.
Kerri leaves behind two beautiful children. The youngest will be 12 years old soon. […] A fundraiser has been set up so that her children can maintain some stability during this difficult time. And if you have memories, or pictures, of Kerri that you’d like to share with her children, please email memoriesofkerri@gmail.com. These email’s will be compiled in to a book that will be given to her sons.
