Aunt Theresa was always such a gentle ,loving person. It was such a blessing to get to spend more time with her in the past couple years, Always with a smile when she saw you, always calling you "sweetie" when she talked to you, always so happy when you dropped by for a visit. There will be such a void now without her and Unc around . I will miss her so much. She will always be in our hearts through all the wonderful memories she left us all with.
My love and prayers are with Patty, Louie, and Tony and all their families at this very sad time.
