Theresa A. Hammer

To T's Family:
We all feel your loss. May God help you heal.

T - how IS that barbershop chorus up there? Stellar?

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

Dear Gary/boys
From the very beginning of our friendship in Simsbury,Ct ,sharing our chorus years together, and continuing all these past years here in Texas will remain always in our hearts. Everyone that met Theresa had their lives changed - What a Beautiful Spirit ! God Bless Her !

Gary and family,
May you feel God's arms around you. Theresa was such a blessing. She will always be close in our hearts. I know she's singing with our Lord.

Theresa's support and faithful example blessed me through many difficulties. I am thankful to have had the honor to know her.

Theresa was not only my riser bud and a fellow Bass but when my daughter was accepted at TAMU, she became my Aggie connection. She was so proud of her boys and shared stories of their years at Aggieland. My daughter spoke often of one of her favorite campus groups, Freudian Slip, and come to find out one of "the boys" was in the group. I admired her courage and how grounded she was despite the challenges she faced with her health. We will all miss her but know she will be forever singing to the angels. God Bless your family.

Gary and sons,
I am so sorry for your loss. Theresa was a very special lady with such a giving spirit and servant's heart. I will miss her greatly.

Sing on Sweet Sister!

Dear Gary and family,

I joined the RichTones in 2003 and had the privilege to sing with Theresa on the risers and in a quartet.

Please accept huge bear hugs, butterfly kisses and loving prayers for your loss. Theresa touched so many hearts in so many ways. Each time I think of Theresa, I see her twinkling eyes and I can't help but smile back.

My love and prayers to all,

Dear Gary and sons,

I am so saddened to hear of Theresa’s passing. She was a beautiful person, inspiring in so many ways. She indeed fought a terrific battle. Please know that my thoughts are with you, and your families.

Theresa, You will be missed so very much that it is hard to put it in words. We shared so many laughs on the risers and off. You have made a strong impact for others in breast cancer awareness, and you have undoubtedly saved lives. My love to Gary and the kids as they will be in our prayers.

I sang with Theresa for many years in the Richtones. She was a wonderful lady. I am so sorry for your loss.

A true and dear friend, always honest, who will never be forgotten.

Oh that we could all be as perfect in our faith as was Theresa, I admired her for her unwavering faith thru all her trial. Will miss her humor.

Theresa, you have touched my life greatly and I will truly miss your infectious smile and generous spirit.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I met Theresa in 1991 when I joined The Richtone Chorus. She was one of the first to welcome me with open arms. She was a beautiful lady who had a quick wit and a very sincere smile. I am priveleged to have known her. I will always remember how proud she was of her children and I see her smile when I see Michael doing the weather on NBC 5. My thoughts and prayers go to all of her family and friends.
