I loved Teresa very much and never got to thank her for all the wonderful things she did for me including taking me in when I had nowhere to go. Teresa was a wonderful person and was always putting other people first. She was a messenger from God and I hope that her memory lives on in the hearts of every child and every person that was effected by her selflessness. She can never be replaced.

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF THERESA. SHE WAS ALWAYS THINKING OF THE NEEDS OF OTHERS BEFORE SHE THOUGHT OF HERSELF. I GUESS THAT'S WHY SHE WAS SUCH A SPECIAL WOMAN. SHE WAS ALWAYS ON THE GO DOING SOMETHING. DID SHE EVER SLEEP? NOW SHE IS AT PEACE AND IS DEFINATELY ONE OF GODS SPECIAL ANGELS.

Freinds and Family,
Teresa was the most selfless person I have ever known. She worked tirelessly for the cause at hand but especially for children in need. She was an incredible human being, who made a signifcant difference in this world. If a person is judged by what they leave behind when they go, then Teresa has received the highest of accolades. She will be missed. All of us who knew her are blessed because we did. My prayers go out to her family and especially those "Apples of her Eye" in this time of loss.
Sincerely,

Dear Friends:
How can I express my love and appreciation for our beloved Teresa? She was so tireless in her efforts to support our children, and her community. She would never have heard it, she was always so against public recognition, but to her we owe so many thanks for the heart and soul she put into each and every event she chaired, field trip she chaperoned, child she mentored, snack she delivered, and so on and so on and so on...... She was the epitome of "Community Service." Will the families of the Valley Hi area ever know just how wonderful she was and the magic she worked? It is in the light of her memory that I will continue my work in our community, knowing that she would want us ALL to rally for the children and the betterment of their world!
My sincerest condolences for your loss...please know that you do not grieve alone!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Pardini, president
