Threasa was my favorite cousin. We were close for many years but sadly drifted apart as we both got older. I know she will be missed by everyone who had the privilege to know her. Threasa had a way about her that made you smile when you were with her and that will be missed also.

I am so, so sorry to hear about this. Threasa was in my brothers grade. She was such a sweetheart, and always had something nice to say. I haven’t seen Threasa in quite a few years but I always really liked her and I feel devastated to know that she’s gone. I will remember her smile and those cute dimples of hers. Rest easy, Threasa. You are loved and will be missed.
