May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My parents knew Teresa and Donald for many years. My father, Mike "the Greek", worked with Don for many years at Inland Steel Mason Department. Respectfully, Michael Pappas, Jr. and Carmen Pappas & Family.

We will always have fond memories of Teresa. She along with Donald were great friends and cousins of our parents, David and Doreen Lax. There are many pictures of them together when they were still in high school. I remember going to the house in Miller Beach and playing with Freddy and Kevin. I remember the way my dad always laughed with Donald. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Karen Lax Rakauskas
