Theresa,I've known your family for 25 years and have always thought highly of you.I remember all those crazy times being with you and ruthy. She has always had that witty attitude, always saw the good in everything and everyone. I'll miss her little comments under her breath but will always smile when I think about her. All I have to do is think about her infamous, "aaaahhh," answer to everything and I laugh out-loud. Don't ever stop talking to her because she will guide you thru the rest of your life. Now she can sit on your shoulder and help you out full time. :) I love you, take good care of YOU!!!!!

Dear Theresa, May I extend my deepest sympathy to you on the death of your mother. I will never forget her kindness to my father. She was a wonderful lady. I now live in PA with my daughter.
