Theresa Yao will forever leave a mark on my life. She was wise, strong, elegant, and loving. Her love came from Jesus to whom she dedicated her life. I loved my friend, Theresa, like a sister. She gave the world many gifts just by her presence, and by her Bible translations into Chinese. She will be sorely missed, but I believe she went straight to Jesus (heaven). God bless Theresa and her family mightily. - Dee

Bernadette, David -

Our deepest condolences to you and your families. Auntie Theresa was the classiest, most intelligent, elegance galore and the warmest person I have ever had the privilege to meet...bar none. I personally have such fond memories when we were kids and we saw each other at east once a month. Our parents were more like like family than best of friends. We sincerely apologize for not being able to attend Aunt Theresa's services but she will forever be in our hearts and memories. So on that note, we the next generations of the Leus' and Yaos' need to connect real soon, so let's try to make it happen.

Much Love...Bobby, Lillian, Matthew and Cate;
Charlie, Sandra, Alexander and Faith
