Hi Theresa, it's me Helena. It is almost impossible for me to still believe you are not "just busy" and we will "catch up later." So, yeah I am still a big nerd and can't stop crying long enough to write on your legacy page. You would call me a nerd for sure and talk me into doing something else besides feeling sorry for myself because I miss you. You were the best person I know at changing my mind, a ha ha! I have a picture of you in my room; I look at your beautiful, comforting face everyday and now carry a St Therese prayer necklace with me when I drive and when I travel. I have so many memories of good times with you ranging from when we were little girls to women and have the most difficult time putting those memories into words. Instead, this rush of emotion sweeps through me including sadness, fear, laughter, inspiration, love and guilt to name a few.I am sad you are not here for me to see in person with my eyes anymore and I am afraid of that you were afraid. I am sorry if you were hurting; I wish I would have known. In my guilt maybe I suspected it a little bit, but selfish me, I was feeling sorry for myself at that time in my life the last years. I feel guilty because we went through so many of the same struggles as well as similar accomplishments at times in our different lives. Why you? I honestly ask myself that question a lot and come up with no answer just more emotions. Those emotions are inspiration and laughter; however, bittersweet. and tearful. I think of your patience, something I lack for the most part and I try to be more Theresa-like. I try and apply your humor to situations where I feel stuck and laugh secretly inside when I see things or people you would laugh at if I am in a place where doing it out loud would inappropriate. In my thoughts, I could never have imagined being an old lady without my old lady friend Theresa just a phone call away. So, now I dream we hang out although we are a little younger than in reality in my dreams and I will keep my precious memories dear to my heart for all of my days. I love you forever, Helena

Dear Lord, we pray for Theresa and for all the people that loved her. may our memories of her continue to bring us comfort in knowing that we all once knew her, celebrated with her and loved her so dearly. we also pray for our dear friend Joanne, bless her with courage as she grieves for Theresa, good health to spend more precious time with her grandchildren and trust that YOU will never forsake nor abandon her. for it is in times of sorrow that YOU hold us tightly in your arms and whisper "find peace in your hearts, for my child has come home to her father" in Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Hello my sweet, I miss you so much. I try not to cry, but the tears find their way all the time. I go visit your tree at Sunset Park and wish your name wasn't there. I hope you like the way I decorate it. Thank you for coming to me in my dreams. I love you so much and look forward to seeing you again some day. Mom xxx

You left us a year ago, yesterday. So many people called and shaed their love for you. Dianna, Joe and I took the boys to the zoo. We know you would have liked that. We all miss and love you so much! I see you in my dreams and it makes me happy. Keep coming to me, I need that. Love you, Mom xxx

Rocky,
I just came across T's obituary online. I am so sorry for your loss. She was always a great kid. Even though it has been 18 years since I worked for you at Rocco's, I still remember how she always used to brighten the place up and make everyone smile when she came in to visit. She will be missed by all who had the priveledge of knowing her. You and your family were and always will be a part of who am am now. I still speak fondly of my time working for you an make your recipe's for my family every christmas. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Theresa, I will always keep you in my heart as the beautiful princess in my Christmas play, a part that was written by me for you.
Your gorgeous smile, your love for fellow classmates, your desire even in death to make the world a better place. (ie) The Smile Train/Children's Charities. Your legacy will be carried on forever with all of us whose lives you touched.

Theresa, although I hadn't seen you for a while, I still & always will, consider you my own big sis. My family & I have missed your smile & cheer all these years & now will miss you forever. Whenever I think of you that really strange song called Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega comes to mind & that rainy day you, me & Dominique all heard it for the first time.
Our thoughts & prayers are forever with you & your family.
With Love Always & Forever,
Valentine & Family
