I was so sad in just learning of the death of Theresa. She was a sweet and wonderful person. I knew her through the Community of St John the Evangelist when I lived in New Orleans. My sincerest condolences to Jimmy and Daniel.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Doskey family. Mrs. Doskey was one of the most genuinely kindhearted, loving people I've ever met. Plus, she was the one to introduce me to crawfish - for that, I'll always be grateful!
With deepest sympathy,
Rich Preuss

Therese and I met in the late 70s when we worked at Derham Junior High School. She always spoke proudly of her son then. Later I met her again at Transfiguration of Our Lord Parish (formerly St. Thomas Moore) where she and her husband were active parishioners. Her smiling face and bright eyes will be missed.
