Dear Jim & Kids, I am so sorry to hear the news. Nobody on earth could have loved you all more fiercely! Theresa was like a force of nature. My heart breaks that she was taken from you so suddenly. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

August 24, 2015

My deepest and sincerest condolences on your loss. Losing someone is never easy, even though we know that they are in a better place. I remember Tereska as a "zuch." She was always very upbeat, happy, full of life and inquisitive. She will always be with you in spirit and she will be in or hearts forever as long as we keep her memory alive. May God give you strength and peace.

I knew Teresa from Polish Scouts and she always had a smile on her face. Although I cannot attend the wake, My heart is with the family in this sad time. I just lost my mother recently and cannot make myself attend a wake at this time.

Dear Grider and Rogozinski families,

I did not know Terri well, but I knew her well enough to know she had a wonderful spirit, a great laugh and a beautiful smile. She also was crazy about her family!

Our prayer is that you may find peace in your beautiful memories.

Love and prayers to all,

You were one constant in my life. We knew each other for almost 50 years and shared many fun times together. Thank you for your friendship and love. Thank you for being the best Ciocia Terri for Becky and embracing her as one of your many children. You will be forever in my heart. Love you!
