Our relationship with Theresa began during a building expansion project at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Library. Theresa, with her sense of humor, thoughtfulness and generosity soon worked her way into our hearts. Our sincere condolences go to her Mom, Bessie and all her family. We will miss Theresa.
