Theresa Philie Obituary

1918 - 2007
We will lay to rest a beloved Aunt, Sister, Mother, Grandmother, and dear friend Theresa Philie on Monday February 26th, 2007 at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. Born in NY, her last few years were spent living in Sacramento, CA. Her health became compromised by pnumonia during the last Holiday season, and she peacefully passed away from lung cancer earlier this week. She was a selfless, caring woman who loved god, family, and the company of friends. We miss, and love her dearly.

Taylor Cassidy and I were going through some Christmas boxes and we found a card she sent to them. Can't believe its been almost a year. We miss her and talk about her often. Hopefully she is watching over us up there in heaven. Love and miss you Aunt Theresa.

Well here it is Christmas And the first christmas without Aunt Theresa. We miss her very much. Right about now we would be discussing the holidays and what i would be getting for my granddaughters with her. She couldn't wait to receive the christmas card from the girls so she could hang it on her fridge to show everyone how big & beautiful they were getting. I miss talking to her so much. She would always listen and her funny comments made me laugh even when i was upset. I hope she is in heaven with the rest of the deceased family and they are all celebrating together. I keep her in my prayers always. Merry Christmas Aunt Theresa, love Lucille, Billy and the family.

THERESA I MISS SEEING YOU EVERY SUNDAY. THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD SAY WHEN I PICKED YOU UP FOR CHURCH WAS HOW ARE THE GIRLS DOING AND HOW IS THE LITTLE GUY TREVOR DOING. YOU WERE SUCH A POSITIVE PERSON IN MY LIFE AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT.

Theresa was more than my Mother-In-Law, she was very much like a Mother to me and I was so very lucky to have her as a wonderful Grandmother for my Children. She's helped me through so many hard times. I feel so very fortunate to have been near her during her last years and by her side during her last days. She will be truly missed but never forgotten.

I never knew how much Theresa means to me until I started missing her when she was at the rehabilitation center. She was not only a very dear friend. She was also like a grandmother to me, more loving than any grandmother i ever had. She had a gift for making other people feel special. I will never forget how she made me feel good about myself and the many times we laughed together and talked on the phone. I thank God so much for letting her come into my life. Although she was in my life for a short while, every memory I have of her is worth remembering.

I love and miss my Nana very much. She was always so proud of everything I did and made me feel special. I will miss our times together, and the stories she shared with me. She was a huge part of my life and so many others.
