Although I have not seen Theresa in years, she has kept in touch more recently and also through my Mom. She will be missed....She never gave up when she wanted to accomplish something. Her drive and determination was uncanny...God certainly has special plans for her, as she smiles down on all of us.

Theresa will be missed so very much. She was kind, thoughtful and very generous with her time. Offering to help everyone. She should have had a long, happy life.

God must have a plan for Theresa - He only takes the best to join Him in Heaven and finally be pain free.

Rest in peace, Theresa. We will miss you.

Lots of love, Uncle Richard, Aunt Jean, Michele & Amber

I am going to greatly miss Theresa. Theresa was a great cousin and a great friend to all. She was always very upbeat and always had a smile. She had such a big heart and never forgot a birthday an anniversary or remembering everyone individually at the holidays. Her time on this earth was cut way too short, but I am sure she is needed elsewhere. The world would be a better place if there were more people like Theresa.
