My Dear Friends Jean and Linda,
Your Mom has touched my heart in so many ways, She was always so kind and caring to my Tara, even as a little girl when Jennie was one of the first to volunteer to come to my home and "pattern" Tara, many many years ago. Rest in the Lord's peace my friend, you will be sadly missed....Sincerely Theresa and Tara Risso and Joe Landi.....

To My Dear Friends Jean and Linda
Your Mom always held a special place in my heart, she was one of the first people who willingly volunteered to "pattern" Tara when she was an infant, Over the past few years when I would help your Mom and Dad with their daily living, I got to know your Mom on a deeper level, and she was a true inspiration to me, such a kind and loving woman, she will be deeply missed by myself and Tara....Rest in the comfort of the Lord, my friend Jennie......Love Terrie and Tara Risso
