Teresa , My heart breaks from one mom to another. I know your love for Maddie and what a blessing she was to you and is to Chris. I close my eyes and all I see is your beautiful smile. I can hear you getting after Todd as he picks and I can see your bond with Jeff when you laugh with him. I think about our talks about your love for your mom. Your caring heart will carry on through so many and I truly believe Maddie will be watched over by everyone you made a point to make a part of her life. Chris and Maddie will be surrounded by Love and support. Your friendship and caring heart will be missed but remembered. Fly high Teresa and spread your angle wings. Love and laughter always, Michelle
