To Sister Teresa's Family. . . My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to you. I met Sister Teresa while attending St. Francis of Assissi. I will always remember her as an important influence in my spiritual life. She was a wonderfully kind woman and she will always have a special place in my heart. God Bless You.

To Sister Theresa's family, I am blessed to have known Theresa since we were classmates in the Loyola University ministry program. She had a big heart and sincere love for people, especially the poor and defenseless. I am proud to have been able to call her my friend. Please know my prayers are with you for your consolation and peace.

Mrs. Lavelle, Joe and Henry:

We have been blessed to know Sister Teresa for over ten years. We met her at Our Lady of Grace Parish and have remained friends. I last saw her this past weekend and had a great visit with her. She was Christina's confirmation sponsor this past May. Words can not describe how she will be missed by us. You were blessed to have such a wonderful daughter and sister. Our sincere sympathy to you.

Mrs Lavelle, Joe and Henry, We send our condolences. Recently seen Sister when she came to Prince of Peace for a workshop for Eucharistic Ministers. It was so nice to see her. We were at Our Lady of the Springs when she was there and had not seen her since. We had asked her to come over to the beach as she could stay with us. I am sorry she did not get the chance. We loved her. Theresa Weegar
