As one of Teresa's sixth grade teachers nearly 50 years ago, I recall what a hard-working, sweet girl she was. She was always smiling and kind to her classmates. Your entire family and all her friends have my deepest sympathy.

Teresa, was one of the kindest people you could ever meet with a heart for all. In her short life on this earth she gave much more than she received. She was a great example of a Godly woman. I’m so lucky to have called her friend. She was someone I'll hold near to my heart. I’ll miss you like crazy, my friend. I cannot say goodbye, it’s until we meet again.
