Cousin Fred and family. The news of Therese's death came as a real shock. I knew she was ill but didn't expect the news so soon. I'm sorry we were not able to make the services but you have been in my thoughts and prayers the last few days. I will always remember her with fondness. Our deepest sympathy to you.

I always thought her name was Trez. We had a lot of fun laughing at each other in Forest after rugby games. I would drive from south St. Louis [ the Bevo neighborhood ] to North county to get my liscence plate renewed at her office just to see her and laugh somemore. She was loved and will be missed.

Fred, Terri Ann, Dennis, extended family, and anyone else who was blessed to have Therese in their lives, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May it help to know that she's finally at peace and free from any pain. In fact, I bet she's already busy feeding everyone in heaven, and enjoying Mary Lou's garden, listening to my dad's jokes, and bonding with Michael. We're here if you need anything (especially food), and we love you all. Kim, Kitty, Kathy and family.
