I don't know if Jim Trustee is still alive and on this Earth but I would certainly like to Get in touch with him about Teresa's death, I really loved Her and am sorry it didn't work out but I did know that she was a very great young lady And I did care for her so much in my life and I have regretted not being with her all my life. I know she was destined to great things and she did great things! I was so sad to find out that she died at such an early age, she deserved twice that! Teresa I hope you know how much I cared for you! For everyone that knew Teresa I understand your pain! God-bless you!

Since I learned that you passed away at such an early age, it just breaks my heart. All these years I thought you were just being successful and loving life, which you always did. I certainly regret all those years that I missed with you and wished it would have turned out different when we're together. I wish I could have been a better man because you certainly deserved it. 1973 and 1974 were the best years of my life, just didn't realize it till it wasn't there. God bless you Teresa and all the people that loves you

I recieved a phone call from Teresa's bestfriend Jenny a few days ago to find out 6 wks ago the angel in my life went hm to finally rest. In 1992 Teresa welcomed me into her hm. I was a troubled runaway & for the 1st time someone loved me uncondionally she showed me a different life, one worth living. a few yrs later she stood next to me through the adoption process for my daughter to give her a better way of life. We have stayed in touch over the years .She was truely one a kind. It is such a loss for all of us that was blessed to know her. Her smile,touch,to hear her voice on the other end of the telephone and so much more will forever live in my soul. I miss you more than ever Teresa. Until we meet again, I love You.

I am in shock and my heart is hurting. Teresa and I had justed talked. We met in the late 60's when we worked at Meacham Airport. She and Joyce later encouraged me to get into real estate. I owe so much to them, they kept encouraging me to press on. I had the honor of knowning her on a very personal and business level. I admired her accomplishments in business. We talked, laughed and she was to call me so we could have lunch soon. I'll miss you Teresa, I promise to keep checking on Joyce for you.
Your Friend....

I received a call today from Genny telling me of Teresa's death. I am in complete schock!Teresa was and always will be one of my closest friends.Teresa was one of the most remarkable women I have ever known.
We spoke just two weeks ago and had a long and wonderful conversation.
I feel Teresa was one of God's angels. Her memory will live on in the many lives she touched ...
but I am going to miss her so so much.
"Good night sweet princess and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

I am so saddened to hear of Teresa's passing. We worked together for several years on Tarrant Co. Foster Parents Association Board. She was one of the first people that I met when I moved to TX and she was always so caring and kind. I remember the countless hours she served the foster care children and their families. She seemed to work tirelessly making sure so many kids and foster families had a voice in TX. She gave not only from her own resources but she gave many, many hours of her own self. I was amazed the first time I saw a Christmas Party for the Tarrant Co. Foster kids! Teresa was there day after day seeing that every child not only got a gift, but the gift that they truly wanted. There were many famiiles that helped with the party, but you
could always count on Teresa to go beyond the call of duty.
Although I am now living in OK, I continue to work in advocacy for foster care; many times I think of Tarrant Co. and the wonderful foster families there. I also think of the wonderful mentor I had in Teresa. My heart and prayers are with all the family at her passing. She was a wonderful lady with a compassionate heart.
She not only talked the talk she walked the walk. Her passing is a great loss not only to her family and friends but to the great state of Texas.

It was quite a tremor to know that Teresa had passed away. Although I did know here to an extreme, I did know her as a friend-- boy did she know me…. I can remember my mother and Teresa, always “talking-it-up” at the conventions. I can remember her beautiful smile, happy-go-lucky personality, the mellowness that she would portray. Everything about her and the life she chose was so magnanimous, no person could of asked for more; Teresa will surely be missed. I am sure her an Charles Etta are living the high-life:- with roads painted of gold, harped music as far as the ear can go, the feeling of an eternal home, the feeling of a great calmness - the knowing and serenity that we will all be there with them when the time comes. I am sure, at this very moment, Teresa affinity for children is being conveyed in Heaven as it was on earth.
Until we me again Teresa…………………………….

Teresa was a person with a loving and gentle heart. She was a vibrant, go lucky, generous person that everyone would have loved. She loved kids. She loved putting smiles on the faces of kids & everyone she met. When you would see her, you would light up. She had a great laugh. god truly made her for what she was. She is in heaven, looking down, smiling at us and would say, what are you doing? Get back to work. She will always be with us, laughing and smiling. We must remember we are not loosing our friend, we are praising our friend for the work she has done for us. She was my Mom's good friend and mine and my brothers. She helped take such good care of us. We will miss her.

I will miss you "Mrs. T" every minute that we are apart. Your Doodlebug, Janie Waugaman

What a shock and great loss. Teresa gave so much of herself to others including so many foster children and foster parents. She had such a loving and giving spirit - we were all better for having known her.

I am very disturbed to know that I will not be seeing "Mrs. T" anymore. Not only was she my mother's best friend, but my Aunt...She was a wonderful lady; the most generous person I know. I guess you could say she was my idol and for that she will always be remembered. She will truely be missed.

Oh my gosh I was so sorry to hear
and read about Teresa. We had so
many good times with her and Jim
when we used to fly everyplace. I
remember one year when Jim had the
kids and a bunch of us were on a
road trip to California. We had
been gone several days and we met
Teresa at the airport and she was
with us when we all went on to
Colorado and spent the night in
an old hotel in Cripple Creek. She
and Jim stayed in the camper van
and gave the room to the kids..
we all had a ball. Have been out of
touch for several years,,but thought of her often..She was so
very good at her business and a
good and fun friend. She will be
missed by many. May God watch over
her family in this time of loss

I'm so sorry to read that Teresa has died. She was a beautiful and loving person who I'm sure will be missed by many, many people. I will never forget her calling me while I was living in New York. She called on her area code 817 cell phone and said she wanted to come see me in Queens. I said, "Great! When can you come?" and she said, "I think I already have! If I'm not mistaken I'm downstairs at your apartment now." And there she was! That was a great day! We drove to New Jersey in her BMW convertible and crossed over the Hudson River. What a beautiful sight! I'll always treasure her and the adventure we shared that day!
My sincerest condolences to all her family,
