My close friend and prayer partner for 26 years. She will be missed, most dearly. She made my move to Vermont in 1988 so much easier, by being the giving , joyful person she's always been. She remained cheerful and accepting to the last, even at my visit to Thompson House in November.
Love to you always Theresa.
