Teresa M. Coyne

Teresa,Sister Justina gave her youth to the service of God, with a smile. That smile eased the pain and loneliness of others as she suffered her own in prayeful silence. All though her life she heard Christ laugh kindly, when she sometimes stumbled on her journey to meet Him. I am certain that Christ hugged her and led her from this life.

I will always smile when I think of my cousin Teresa.She was so much fun to be with.She will be forever in my heart.Teresa,may you rest in peace.

I worked at Peru Elementary School with Teresa. The times we shared were filled with laughter, smiles, and FUN! She could light up the room with her smile. She always said she was trying to keep Alice, Randa, Ma Swan, Jeff, myself, and all of the others in line - but truth be told she was right in the middle of everything and often was the leader of the pack. My daughters loved her as a teacher. We all loved her as a friend. My thoughts go out to her life long friend - Alice. May Teresa rest...

Sister Justina: At 60 years of age, I speak often of you to friends. You were a true inspiration. Safe journey, knowing your vocation showed itself in many ways to this student any many others at Holy Cross School. God Bless Sister.

I met Teresa when she first moved to Fallbrook and immediately fell in love with her. How could you not love Teresa? She was one of the kindest, funniest, sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She loved to tell stories about her travels to Ireland and about growing up in Portland with her brothers and sisters. She loved to talk about the fun she had with Alice! What a sense of humor! Teresa was a wonderful person who I will always remember and cherish. May she rest peacefully...

"Sister Justina" was my first grade teacher at St.John's school in Bangor 42 years ago. I thought the world of her.
May she rest in peace.
