Much love to Mr. Moran, Marta, David Ana and Joel--
One of my most favorite memories of Mrs. Moran is when she sought me out at your wedding reception and said, "Tu es Muy Loco like I was when I was your age!" And, I LOVED that she was always on point for the latest fashion trends and would purchase the best and most fashionable outfits for Ana.
We are so sorry for your loss and we are thinking of you!
Hugs, Tia Marge, Tio Mike and Tony B.

I had the priveledge of meeting Sra. Morán in Spanish classes @NMSU, along with Sr. Morán and Sra. Greene. The past few years I saw her often shopping @ Albertson's with Sr. Morán in tote. Always happy and positive.
My wishes and prayers to all of you on the loss of your beautiful mother.

To The Moran Family, We are sorry to hear of Teresa's passing. Mrs. Moran would, on occasion, contact my husband for minor work at their home. Always enjoyed talking with her. She was such a strong person. Our condolences to the family.
