Teresa Laraba

I was just cleaning out some old files today and came across a letter Teresa wrote to me in May of 2015. She selected me to star in a customer service training video for flight attendants, and awarded me with a SWA hospitality pin. I will cherish this letter forever. Teresa was such an inspiration. I still miss her. I pray that her family is doing well and that they are truly blessed.

I am sad to know that she is no longer here on...

My sincere condolences to Teresa's family. May the Lord give you strength during this time of sorrow .
I had the pleasure to meet her during her last visit to BWI. What a remarkable woman..... She will be missed.

For a time while I was employed by Southwest Airlines, Teresa was my manager at the DAL station. Her unique blend of talent, sincerity, and humility fostered nothing but undeniable respect and admiration. I remember her tenure with great fondness. My sincerest condolences to all that knew and loved her.
