Theresa, there isn't a day that passes that you aren't on my mind. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have grabbed my phone thinking that I have to call you and tell you...! Or my phone rings and I think, it has to be you, it's about time for you to get off work. Then reality sets in! I can't imagine living the rest of my life without that next phone call, text, or visit. I can't imagine my life without you in it; you have been a part of my family since college! What began as "fun-loving partners in crime" ending as "fun-loving best friends for a lifetime." Thank you for all the memories, Theresa! I will cherish them forever. I love you, my friend! -Cindy

Lisa & Family,
So stunned to hear of Theresa´s passing. My husband (Kurt) was a patient at the SVH Cancer Center & I always went with him. She was so sweet. We found out that she collected the plastic bottles and cashed them in for money to donate to Orphan Angels. So we saved our ones from home and took them to help her quest to help the kitties. I lost Kurt in 2022, so maybe he can greet her in heaven. My condolences to your family and friends.

Theresa was a kind soul and beautiful person. I worked with her for a short bit and we shared stories and photos of our fur babies. She will be missed by so many.

Dear Lisa and family,
Theresa was without question one of the finest nurses I've ever worked with. She was an outstanding patient advocate and genuinely cared about her patients and the quality of care she gave. She was so easy to talk to, non-judgemental, and went above and beyond for everything she was passionate about. It's so surreal that she's no longer with us.
Wishing peace and comfort to you, and all who loved her, in the days ahead.
