Dear Theresa and entire family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. When I heard the news today, I had so many memories crash through my mind.
Your mom and dad welcomed me into your family and made me feel like I was one of their own. Many thanksgivings I remember having the meal with all of you. It was my first and last turkey baked in a brown bag. No one I know dared to even attempt it. What a fantastic meal she prepared.
Even though time and space has separated us, our souls are connected forever. Theresa, you are my life long friend. I am so grateful for all you did in my life - teaching me to drive at holy cross cemetery and foot long coney dogs at A & W, getting me out of my shell to sing in front of more people I would ever imagine just to name a few. And l, then there is your mom and dad. They treated me like their own and in my darkest hour they gave me support and love to make it through. I treasure my ring of your dad´s that you so graciously gave me at my first mass - love one another is on the band. This is the tribute your mom and dad both always did. They loved everyone who came into their lives. How blessed are we! My prayers and love,
Danny
