To Clarrisa and Lydia: And to Theresa's brothers Norman and Richard & her sisters,plus Bobby and many other great friends and family members: This may seem very long but, every word is important cause this is how she was to me and to my family and everyone at St. Bernadette's church here are very sadden of her loss.

In loving memory of you Theresa you will never be lost nor forgotten.I just wished we had at least one more time together just you and I. I miss you and I love you for keeps. oxoxxoo May you rest peacefully in the Lord's House.

Theresa Thomas : Was a very loving friend,a kind mother, a great auntie,a fun sister, a cool cousin , a very awesome singer & a very helpful person to everyone. Theresa was a St. B's choir singer, a St.B's youth choir director, gave you piano lessons, had fun with you etc. at parties etc. places you may of have been at with her. She gave you cards or presents when you were ill or healthy. She prayed for you and was always someone you can always come too. Theresa got me to join the St. B's choir and the St. B's sodality group. What does St. B's church stand for? It stands for St. Bernadette's church. Theresa was there for many things. She was there when I was uncertain if it was I who actually hit a parked car. I was so upset I thought I would die or get punished at home etc. too much was happening. Anyhow we just said, have no fear don't fret all so much about it. Lets go inside the iHop as planned for our brunch. So, we ate and chatted away and this was at least 7 or 8 years back when we did this event together. Theresa was always there to hug and to kiss me at church just like many other extended church family members. Entering those church doors and not seeing her there will be hard but, I know that she will indeed by one of my guardian angels watching over me 24/7. I'm sad and I will miss her but, I know that she and I were great friends/family members and I know that we both loved each other and believe it I still love her even though she has left us for a better place up in the sky with the Lord. Rest in Peace Theresa.
P.S. Having Theresa spend the evening at our house for dinner last year was very wonderful. I also enjoyed my movie night with her at her house too. Theresa loved people and animals especially cats. She was so very special and its hard to say goodbye when all you want to say is hello a thousand times or more.
Peace,Love and Hugs,
Kate
