To the McGuane Family:
There are no words to say when someone so young goes so tragically. It is not going to be easy, and the questions of why this happened, will always be asked and what helps is faith. Theresa was a great person, and touched so many people. I just remember her smile and it has been years since I last saw her. To her brother and sisters be there for your parents and eachother, especially your mom. For her husband may God give you the strength to raise your daughter and tell her about her mother and what she did for her.

Theresa will never be forgotten to the ones she loved and knew. May all the family find peace within eachother.
