Not sure what to say?

I think of Teisha often. She was an amazing human being. I played music with her in the 90's - great smile, and so much talent. I still remember her telling me that she had a "old man cancer" and they were just going to watch her bloodwork. She was so positive. I can't help but think of her when I play drums :)

Almost a year since we lost Teisha. She was one of my favorite clients, always appreciative. I will never forget the day she left for Paris the last time. She was a happy little girl that day - skipping to the car and singing " It's always another day Moe, always another day". She was so kind and compassionate with me. I think of her often.

I first heard Teisha and Amelia when studying for a final exam. I was annoyed that a band was setting up at Starbucks, but then instantly mesmerized by the amazing vocals I heard. She was amazing, captivating and a delight to watch. Anytime anyone asks about my favorite music, Amelia comes to mind. To her family I wish to express my deep condolences.

I'm so sad to hear this news just now. I discovered the band when the first album came out and have all four of them and just went online to find out why they haven't done anything in so long, only to find out about Teisha's passing. I was reading her blog and wondered why there hadn't been any updates in a while. I can't imagine what the family has gone through but I just want to offer my sincere condolences. She touched me from far away and I'll never forget.

Teisha helped us sell our first house and find our next house. She was kind and generous to us as a professional. But even more lasting to us, was her radiating warmth and beauty-it was really true-she literally sparkled with life and goodness.

Our thoughts are prayers are with her family and friends.

I Loved Teisha like a sister and a best friend. Rest in His Glory my dear.

Debbie and Dell,
What a blessing for you to nuture and share the beautiful life of an amazing girl. She must had been a gift to you from God that blessed you for 42 years. To us, following her journey through life's challenges, we were in awe of this beautiful gifted girl as she packed in a full lifetime of quality experiences. And, all the time with such grace. We will remember her by playing "Amelia."

Teisha... June 25th 2006. One of the best blessings of my wedding day was to have her there.

I knew Teisha because I cleaned her house. She was one of the very few of my clients who treated me like a friend rather than "the help". I later met Deb and found the same to be true of her. I grew to admire Teisha and think the world of her. I used to tell her that when Amelia got famous I would brag that I used to clean her toilet!!! We had so many nice conversations and when she passed away, it was at a time when I had felt certain I would be seeing her again real soon. I am so sad that...
