To the family of Teresa; I pray that GOD strengthens you and comfort you with His loving arms. I worked as an Operator at Mt. Carmel West (MCW) and had the pleasure of knowing Teresa and working with her on one occasion during 1st shift, although she'd always worked 3rd shift! I'm very sorry I missed her homegoing service, but I know she is at perfect peace in Heaven. Always keep those treasured and fond memories of Teresa close to your heart. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!!

I knew Teresa from high school we always had a great time together. When I signed up on Facebook last year she was the first one to connect with me. I couldn't believe she remembered me, I'm glad we had the opportunity to connect again online. I'm sad that my friend is gone and can only imagine the sadness her family must feel. I am praying for them, her spirit lives on and will be with us always. Thanks so much for being my friend Teresa, I will miss you.
