To the Wuerz and Davinroy Families,

I was so sorry to hear of Teresa's death. We, the New Orleans relatives, will miss Teresa very much. We all have many happy memories of our cousin Teresa, not only from her childhood, which was partly spent in the New Orleans area, but also from many visits over the years.

We plan to have a memorial service here later, since so many of us were not able to go to Missouri for the service there.

My sympathy, love, and prayers.

To the Wuerz family, I was so sorry to read of your Mom's death. How ironic that there were obituaries for 2 cousins in the same paper. The other was Fr. Joe Hagen. I will really miss my Gene buddy.

Steve, Chris, Larry, and Marian,

I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Teresa was a wonderful person. Your parents were both very special and raised a really great family. We always enjoyed spending time with your family, and my dad always enjoyed talking geneology with your mom.

I will keep you guys in my prayers.
