This message is on behalf of my mom, Ruth:
My mom was deeply saddened to hear about Teresa's passing and wants to extend her heartfelt sympathy to all her family. Mom recalled fondly Teresa's bubbly personality, her frequent laugh and wonderful sense of humor. She considered Teresa a dear friend and will cherish her memories of St.Mary's and the "old neighborhood". Many good thoughts and prayers!

I know that there are no words that can take away the pain of losing someone that you love. I would like to share an encouraging thought, "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." Psalms 34:18
May your family get the strength needed during this difficult time. My deepest condolences.
