Aunt Teresa was my godmother and was very special to me. I am grateful that she is no longer in pain and misery, but I will truly miss her. I know my brothers will be happy to see their Uncle Teesa again though.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Aunt Teresa´s passing. What a lovely person and beautiful soul. She was my mothers best friend and sister-in-law. I can still hear them both laughing together over all the silly things their children did over the years .I know they are embracing each other in heaven and happy to see one another after all these years.
She will be greatly missed, but we know she is at peace and has found comfort.
