T,
We are coming upon a year that you passed away. I had no idea that this happened until recently.
You were the best camp counselor I ever had. Because of you, 4 summers of my life were made into the best I ever had. You changed the life of so many girls and are so missed. I love you soooo much. Lea and I will never forget you. Thank you for alllll you did for me. Now that I'm a camp counselor, I hope I leave an impact on a child the way you left an impact on me. It's good knowing I have someone up there on my side.
All the love,
Rest in peace,

Patty W

Theresa, I'm so glad I got to know you. I will always remember the stories your grandpa would tell about "his girls" and you especially. I know you are with him in Heaven and both of you will keep an eye on us.

You are missed and much loved.

Theresa, we were so happy to have you with us in Florida all these past visits. Your infectious smile and laugh made our time with you a pleasure. We love and miss you very much and pray that the Blessed Mother will hold you in her arms all through eternity.
Love, Cousin Margie & Warren

Theresa, while we never met personally, through your grandmother, I feel as if we've been friends for years. You were a brave and special young woman and the world will strongly feel your absence but the world's loss is Heaven's gain. Rest in the arms of your Savior, the God who created you and loves you.
May the peace of Christ be with your family in this difficult time.

T, Now you can have all the chocolate fribbles you want and I will make sure mom has the vanilla ones. You are a gem and a one of a kind young lady. I will miss your laugh and your never ending smile. Love You T. Carolyn, you are such a strong woman to have gone through this. We both know she is at peace and it was comforting for me to hear you speak the other day. You know where I am. We love you.
