Teresa was smart, friendly and made customers feel like they were important. She did that by actually caring. Someone I will miss. My prayers are with her family, friends and co-workers.

To My Girl, I will miss you so much. We will never share another birthday together. I won't get to see you growing old with me. I keep remembering when I came back to visit for our birthday when I lived in CA and Shawn took us to the mall you were 17 and I 18 and you wanted to get your eyebrow periced but you couldn't sign for yourself so I did and the look on Dad's face when he picked us up was great, we thought he was going to get us for sure but it turned out to be alright anyway. You were more than just my cuz you were my best friend and the best person in the world to get to share my birthday with. I'm so happy I got to see you one last time at chrismas. I'll always LOVE and MISS you. You will always be on my mind and in my heart. You are sady missed by all those you came in contact with.

Nate,
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I was good friends with your sister Sarah all through Elementary school. I would like to let you know how truly sorry I am. I hope that you know that the one thing to remember is your eternal marriage to Teresa and because of that you will have her forever. Teresa is looking down on you as an angel now of our Heavenly Father. I think that she would still want what's best for you and for you to have a happy life. Remember the good times and don't dwell on the bad. You have a wonderful family that is willing to help get through this bump in your life and help you press forward. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. Once again I'm very sorry and hope that you know the true meaning of what life is all about and that it is forever. Remember that the church is true and to continue to live the gospel principles and that too will help you get through the hard times. I extend to you warm wishes of friendship, love and comfort as well with all of the other people that too have been effected by this.
Love ya lots,
Cambra Peterson (Hadfield)

Dear Teresa,
We only knew eachother for a little while, but you left a lasting impression on me. You are patient, giving, thoughtful, strong-willed and fun to be around. I will never forget you and I hope to one day have the same wonderful qualities as you have. Thank you for being part of my life.

Words cannot express the depth of the love I have for you. My heart is broken. I ache so deeply for your sadness. This has been such a difficult year for all of us.

From Uncle Jim, Aunt Cindy, cousins Rebekah, JJ and Jessica Ellis. We will always remember our "sweets". Teresa will be remembered as the "candy cousin", always bringing the kids treats when she came to visit us in Billings MT. I will miss our long talks late into the night and her smile, always the first laugh. We look forward to seeing you again.
Love,
The Jim Ellis family.
