To Eddie, his children, grandchildren, and all the relatives and friends of Theresa:

Barbara and I were deeply saddened to learn of Theresa's death when Nancy called. Theresa was a beautiful person and will now share in the rightful reward she so richly deserves. Take comfort in the fact that there will be no more pain or suffering or the weeping or gnashing of teeth. We pray that God has already met Theresa at the Gates of Paradise, and as only an all-loving and all-forgiving Father can do, He has put His arm around Theresa's shoulders, given her a gentle hug and said, "Enter into your Father's Kingdom where a special place has been reserved for you. Well done, My good and faithful servant."

Ed, you and your family are in our fervent prayers as we ask God to give you and your family the strength to withstand this difficult ordeal which now confronts you. May God Bless all of you.
All our love,

Christa & Susan Consoletti
