I loved Theresa's laughing, giggling. It was so easy to make her laugh and made her a joy to be around. She had a wonderful sense of humor, one we all could use. It feels good to remember Theresa, she was a special person.

My best memory I will have of Theresa was her easy laughter; she found humor in so many things, it was a pleasure to be around her. She brought a certain joy to all those who knew her. God Bless.

My deepest condolences o the Rice family. I first met Teresa when Kathy was in the kindergarten class in which I was a student teacher. I was immediately drawn to her kind nature. Years later, I was fortunate to get to know her better when she taught at JMES where I was a teacher. I know heaven has gained an angel.
