My heart goes out to Gene & Teri. I will always have found memories of Theresa and the times we spend while preparing for Gene's and Teri's wedding, trying on our Mother's dresses etc. Theresa never learned to drive so we rode together every where. it was fun getting to know her. She was a humble, sweet spirit and now she can join John with open arms free of all her pain. I send my Love to all the family, Jeri Granger Meyer.

Dear Brewer family,
We remember fondly seeing John and Theresa walking around our circle every day. Such genuine, generous and thoughtful neighbors they were. We don't live in the old neighborhood now, but our fondest memories will always be on the Hudson-McClelland-Crandall circle with all our stalwart neighbors. Your parents were two of the best. May the Lord continue to bless your family. With love, Max and Doris Williams

We will miss her too. What I remember the most about Uncle John and Aunt Theresa was their devotion to each other and their family. They were good people. We send our love and sympathy to you.

Dear Brewer Family:

It was a sad day when your Dad passed away, and another sad day when Theresa had to leave her home. I miss them both dearly. I didn't get a chance to visit Theresa in the care center very often, but enjoyed her when I did get there to visit.

The neighborhood just isn't the same without the familiar faces we have known and loved for almost 30 years now. We truly loved and now miss visiting across the road almost daily for so many years.

May the Lord bless all you children with peace and comfort knowing your Mom and Dad are together again - eternally. What a wonderful promise and blessing is ours to know that.

My deepest condolenses to you all.

Love, Joelle Burns (neighbor & friend)

Brewski, Our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult time. Many will say,"she is in a better place," "she lived a long good life", "she was older", and all of these are true. I suppose they do not understand how very difficult it is to lose a mother or father. Words really do not convey the sentiments we wish our lips could utter. We pray that knowing that so many others care and share in your sorrow with you and Natalie will bring some comfort. May He be with you and your family, not only through the next few days as you pay your last tribute to your wonderful mom, but that He will be with you in the days after each family member goes to their own homes and you are alone with your thoughts and feelings. Our love and our deepest sympathy. Marge and Harvey VanKatwyk

Theresa was a great person and we have been friends as well as neice and newphew. When our children were small and we lived in Salt Lake she had tended our children while I worked and took such good care of them. We will miss her and we love her Art & Verllain
