I've worked in the Realtor Building since 1975 and Teresa was the kindest, most thoughtful person I've met. Thirty years ago I was single, and Teresa was quite specific - and direct - in her advice about who I should ask out, and later about who I should marry. Hers was the best advice I've ever received.

I have missed her and thought of her often since she retired. She was truly a remarkable lady and she will be missed.

I worked in the Realtors building where Teresa assisted in keeping it in tip-top condition. Many nights when working late I had wonderful conversations with Teresa. She was an incredible woman who endured much during her life. When she retired, I continued to send her updates in Christmas cards. She really cared about her work and we all appreciated it. I know how her family will miss her, as will I.
