To all the Manfredis and Scorzas,
I've known Theresa a long time, lifted a glass or three with her and had some fun & funny times. But I never understood the mettle of the woman until these past few weeks. Her good cheer, grace and generosity as she faced her death were in a word: awesome.
Tree was lovely, unique, special. Always. I'm blessed to have known her.
My condolences to you all.
Sincerely, Virginia

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Theresa and I worked together many years. Although I took a different position, our paths would cross occasionally and she would catch me up on her life. Full of laughter with that great big smile, she was very happy and loved sharing her stories about her boys. She will be very much missed, please accept my condolences for your family.

Dear Jeff and family,
I was so saddened to hear of Theresa's passing. I worked with her for many years at MHRI. She was a gifted PA, and great to work with. She will be missed. I'll never forget the time she and another nurse and I got in trouble for laughing too much. This is just one of my many memories of her.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

To Theresa's family, I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Since Theresa got sick, I performed many of her MRI's. She always amazed and inspired me with her strength and courage. As her illness progressed, she never seemed to waver in that courage. She just continued the fight. She touched me deeply and reminded me often how important it is to enjoy every day, every moment. It was a privilege to have known her and I pray that you find peace in knowing how many lives she affected. I will keep you in my prayers.
