My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God's promises fill your hearts with love, hope, faith, comfort, peace, and assurance of eternal life.
Terry was the epitome of a true Southern gentleman and a Christ-like Christian whose life evidenced the fruits of the Spirit.  As a physician, he was loved, admired, and trusted by his patients and those with whom he worked.  He was truly an example of our Great Physician. He was a living testimony of God's love, mercy and grace. What a treasured legacy he bequeaths to each of you!  In God’s love, Connie Skalak

Dr. Greene meant more to our family than words can express.  In 1992, he took on my father-in-laws case at Habersham Medical Center after him and my mother-in-law suffered a horrific automobile accident in which she was killed.  He took on the care of Bobby when no one else wanted to because of the severity of his injuries.  At that time Habersham Medical did not have dialysis capabilities and when Bobby's kidneys began to fail Dr. Greene took care of getting him transferred to another hospital and rode in the ambulance along side of him.  What a caring soul he had.  Our hearts break for his family & friends.  It was a blessing to know him and our prayers are with you all in the following months.

I was employed with Habersham Primary Care many years ago and have many fond memories of Dr. Greene. My mother remained his patient up until recently and I so thank him for the care he gave her. His passing is heartbreaking and I pray that the family can find comfort and peace in the days ahead. To all those at Habersham Primary Care I also send my best as I know this has to be very hard for all of you too. Be at peace Terry.

The grief that is felt when we lose a loved one may seem unbearable. At such times, we can go to God's word for comfort. God too feels hurt when an individual dies. That is why the encouragement found at Revelation 21:4 assure us that "He will remove sorrow and death will be no more." According to this scripture, there will come a time when those we have lost to death will be brought back by means of a resurrection by the Almighty God. May the family find comfort that God makes available to everyone.

was the most caring, respectful, concerned physician that
we've ever been to.   He saw us through a lot of ups and downs,
as I'm sure he did with all of his patients.  I know you, as a family,
will miss him dearly, as well as all of Habersham County.  Our prayers

I first met Dr.  Terry Greene 23 to 24 yrs. ago when he came into the office to work with Dr. Stuart Sanders. Dr. Greene was soft spoken, caring and knowledgable  Dr., when he opened his office in Baldwin, Ga. I started going to him there and continued seeing him until recently. The rest of my family was seeing Dr. Cope, so I changed to him as well.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I'm sure they're in more shock than I am. I pray that our loving God will be beside each of you and comfort you as only He can. God Bless!

Terry was a great friend at Norcross High School and I was fortunate to have spent time with him in the Band, learning to drive and studying (each other sometimes).  I'll never forget his kindness, support for me during our teenage phase and the number of times he reached out when I moved to Australia. May you rest in peace, my friend, and may your family find peace in their wonderful memories of your time on this planet. You will truly be missed by many.
