To the family,

Theresa will be missed. I had the opportunity to work with Theresa at Head Start for many years. We were a family in the grantee office we shared our lives. Theresa always had her family first. She was committed to the children and families we served. But her children were first. We are going to miss her fisty, competent, elegant spirit. Take care and always keep God in your life because only through God's love will you be able to continue to live the life she wanted for you.
