Teresa Ann Getchell

I miss those days when Greg and I would have tea with Mother and Uncle John. That time will be with me forever.!!

Karen & Greg,
Your dad was my first cousin.
Because of our numerous family members we lost touch over the years.
When we were younger we would occasionally meet with uncle Edwin & Aunt Emeline. They would mention Paul and the wonderful girl he had married.
Our thoughts heve been with your family throughout the years. On the morning when it was announced that your dad's remains had been found, we had just come back from Pearl Harbor and uttered a prayer for your dad. A...

Karen & Greg,

My condolences on the passing of your Mom. I always loved listening to your Mom, on Christmas Eve. Held her in highest respect, to her tireless effort, for closure with your Dad. Everytime I would see the black P.O.W. /M.I.A flag somewhere, I would think of you folks and prayed the day would come, that finally did.

She may now rest in full peace. God bless you folks.

Karen,
Praying for friends to comfort you,
faith to uphold you,
and loving memories
to help you smile again

You are in our Thoughts and Prayers

Dear Greg and Karen: Please accept my condolences. I recall your mother's great friendship during our high school years. I went to Sacred Heart and Cheverus with your father and was living in Southeast Asia when he was shot down. The many times that I flew over Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam
I would look down through the darkness of the night hoping that Paul was alive and I would say a prayer for him. You were blessed with two very special people as your parents and I will pray for them...

John, Karen and Greg, I am so sorry for your loss. Teresa and I had many conversations and laughs during the many years I had helped her with the cleaning of her home. She was a wonderful lady.

I just saw Teresa's obituary. Teresa and John were wonderful neighbors to me in Portland for many years.
Greg and Karen, your mother (and uncle) were so good to me (it was my first house and I didn't know what I'd gotten into). I'm so sorry to hear about Teresa.

As a kid growing up in Portland, I wore her husband Lt. Col.Paul Getchell,M.I.A. bracelet. I did't personally know the family but I often thought of them throughout my life and wondered what became of his loved ones. My wish was for them to find peace and joy.
I hope the Getchell children can find comfort knowing their parents were stella examples of bravery,courage and honor. I wish them peace.

Greg, Karen and Uncle John
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I've known all of you since about 1981 (31 years). Mother will be missed greatly.
Just seems like yesterday Greg and I were having tea in the kitchen with her while we joked around. Uncle John would come in from the yard carrying Rosie or Ginger with a big smile on his face... Those days will NEVER be forgotten…
