May the Lord send His Comforter to Aunt Theresa's family....to strengthen and encourage ...just as she did for so many for so many years. We cannot stop the sadness felt when the Light of one of His children is taken, but she shared her light so willingly; it will keep shining through each of us who were blessed by her spirit
