I worked with Thea for three years and had the opportunity to know her from a professional standpoint. Thea was the type of person that you would want on your team. She was reliable and conscientious. She made herself available to anyone who needed help. She was the "Mom" of our team. I will miss her.

Bridget,



I was very sorry to hear of the death of your Mom., and I wanted to write to offer my prayers.

Thea and I were friends in high school and we shared many found memories. Although I have

been living in Seattle for 40 years I still remembered your Mom and our days at Maria. Our

friendship enriched my life, and I will always be grateful for it.



Sincerely,



Sally Moran Gasparich
