Dear Larry and Diana, I was so sorry to open the paper and see that Teresa had passed away. She came into my life at a very tough time and enriched it in ways I cannot begin to describe. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I was fortunate enough to know and work with Teresa for several years. She was eternally kind and provided me a daily model for what strength really is. My prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Ms. Teresa was a blessing to those who knew her. We greatly miss her with Temple's GMA(girl's missionary auxiliary) as she and I took turns driving to camp at Daniel Springs in Gary, TX. It was a pleasure working with her and the girls. She also was counselor during the time my daughter was attending, who is currently our last Sovereign Queen.she was a great Christian lady.

Teresa inspired me every day to be a better person. Not many people i can say that about. She is a champion and made me want to be a better person. May she thrive in heaven and rest in her peace.

We are saddened by Thesea's passing. She was a good and likeable person. I was impressed with who she had become the last time I saw her at a family reunion. She held herself well at this event and exuded friendliness and warmth. This was the only time I had seen her as an adult since her famly moved out of the Northern Illinois area. I do remember us as kids and never forgot that early linkage as there are good memories there for my cousins and other family members. I send my family's condolences on behalf of my family to Theresa's family and she will remain in our hearts forever. I know she still lives in another place. May peace, love, goodness, and light prevail over all of you.
