My Deepest sympathy to the family of Theresa I grew up with Theresa and Maureen on Benevolent Street and at Cleary School. We played together. I remember Theresa and I reciting a poem that we learned in elocution lessons at Cleary. We used to practice it on the doorsteps. I received Xmas cards from Theresa and Henry for years. I lived in clearwater Florida for years and am back home in R I now. I remember her at StJosephs Hosp. when I had my babies she would visit me daily. This sure brings back some lovely memories. I extend my condolences to you all. Dorothy (Nolan) Hutson

To the enire Boulanger family, please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences on the recent passing of your beloved mother Theresa.
I worked with Terri in the early 1980's at Pawtucket Institute for Health Services and adored her sense of humor. She made our days at work brighter and always filled it with lots of laughter to get us through the night. Most of all, she was an exceptional nurse and one of my greatest teachers. I admired her greatly and she has always remained in my thoughts throughout the years.
