Theresa was a beautiful lady, inside and out. There are several things I will miss about her but especially the knitted hanging towels she would send me for Christmas with her granddaughter Veronica and our occasional short but sweet talks on the phone. Theresa, I will always love you too and thank you for the continued love you showed me. Fly high my friend and May you RIP!!
Tony and family, continued prayers for you.

Love and blessings Valerie A Lujan
