I'm very sad to hear of Teresa's passing. She was not only an excellent accompanist, she was such an enthusiastic, upbeat person. It was my pleasure to work with Teresa on and off over the years in various venues. I've not seen her for a few years and regret that so much time has gone by. Goes to show the importance of staying in touch! To her children and grandchildren, I express my heartfelt sympathy. She spoke of you often with great pride and love. You were the light of her life!
