Family would like to thank Dr. Gregory Hartig, Dr. Patrick Pfau as well as all UW staff who helped with Teresa's care for many years.

Don't cry over the past, it's gone,

Don't stress over the future, it hasn't arrived,

Live in the present and make it beautiful!

You don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have.
