I first met Teresa in 1959, when she came to work at Dr Pickering & Moore's office. I was in my late teens then, and she was our office manager, much needed at the time. I loved her from the first day. She had the ability to lead, and I was only too happy to follow. Her smile just lit up whatever room she walked into. She was a friend and a mentor throughout the ensuing years, and was always so encouraging. A wonderful woman who will be missed by all who loved and admired her. I will miss seeing her in May, her birthday month, but she will be in my thoughts and prayers always. Francois cared for Teresa so beautifully throughout her lengthy illness, and I know that all of her friends hold him in such high regard. She always looked so beautiful when we visited her, and she never lost that beautiful spark in her eyes!

I was so sorry to hear of Teresa's passing....Teresa was my business office manager when I worked at the Plastic Surgeons office. My memories of her are her warm smile and making gourmet meals in the tiny kitchen of the office. She will be missed but was well cared for by Francois who could always get her to smile. My condolences to him and her family.

We all benefited from her extensive culinary skills. It was a pleasure to have known this lovely lady. She was most generous in spirit; particularly devoted to her family. May she rest in Peace.
