Not sure what to say?

Tereze in 2013 at the jewelry sale. She was a "scarfie" friend of ours.

Dear Abigail and Tereze's family and friends: I had heard the sad news about Tereze in early 2019 and I went digging for my phoos of her. Over this break I was going through my photos and found the ones I was looking for, hidden away, from the jewelry sale that we attended in 2013 in NYC. I bought pieces from her that I treaasure now especially. For our Hermes scarf collector event she was a kind hostess and a thoughtful collecting colleague to many of us. Tereze and I joked that someday I'd...

Dear Abigail,

I am SOOOOOO sorry to hear of your mother's death.

She was a shining light in my universe. We saw each other only about once a year until you/she built the house on Fire Island and your had a baby....she was passionate about you and her grandchild and your happiness was in great part her fight to prolong and enjoy her life to the fullest. She was the a huge personality hidden in a small body. I loved her. I will miss her. She was the beginning and...

Tereze was a shining light in my universe. We saw each other only about once a year until she built the house on Fire Island with you in mind, Abigal and Vera. ...

I spent much of a day once, sitting under a big tree in front of Main talking with Tezzie about everything from shoes and ships to sealing wax. It was a marvelous conversation. That was the only time I
I really talked with her, but I've never forgotten how very rich it was.

A wonderful person gone way too soon. A Vassar friend refound at our 50th reunion with whom I shared many great dinners at one of her favorite Italian restaurants. Smart, funny, a great writer who had two letters to the editor published in the Times this year, a jewelry maker supreme and a heck of a maj jong player. I wish I had gotten to see you one last time to tell you how much you meant to me. Condolences to Abagail, Vera and the rest of the family

I loved seeing Tereze's beautiful work every week in enameling class at 92nd street Y and conversing about politics, and the state of the world. Her humor and creativity were singular and will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

Tereze, you are not forgotten but will live on in our memories.

To her family and friends. May our god of love bring comfort and peace. Mathews 5:4

Good bye Tereze. You were a piece of work! Glad I knew you.
