Dear Martin and loving family of Teresa especially those grandchildren that she was so very proud of and often spoke to me about them and all those great friends of Teresa's: I was so sorry of course to receive the news from Martin last night-but I know how selfish it is to think of her loss in that way. After all, we know how much Teresa suffered and now she has the joy that is promised to all of us -and the rich rewards of Joy without ceasing -in living in the land of the living (that's from St.Monica's own words. Teresa was such a great and wonderful inspiration not just to her family but to all her friends. We know how long Teresa suffered and battled her illness but she would always bounce back again and put up with the suffering. I wish there were some words to comfort all of you but there are none. Just know that I will pray for Jesus to fill your broken hearts with His Love and His peace. I will be in touch. Love and God Bless Peggy P.
