Great Grandma Teck: I love and miss you so much! Keep St. Peter and everyone else up there in line.

Like you said, not goodbye, but until we meet again...

A great life lived to the fullest. My only true Grandmother and accomplice in many adventures. She leaves behind much more than has been taken from us.

You touched my heart and my life in more ways than you know Sweet Lady. Not only where you my Aunt but you where also my best friend. In my younger years we shared a lot together. You were always there to lend a loving ear, no matter what, and my life has been so enriched because you were a part of it. There is a big hole in my heart right now, but as time goes by it will be filled with loving memories of you. I love you more than you will ever know
