My condolences to Theresa's family and friends. We were friends at Springfield High School and her Grandparents lived on the same block I grew up on. I'll always remember her as a very kind, beautiful girl who had s constant, infectious smile. Rest in Peace

I am at such a loss for words. I was copying my Aunts obituary and came across this. My condolences go out to Theresa's family and friends. We go back as far as early grade school age living on the same block as her Grandparents to our own High school years at SHS. Again I am sorry to encounter such a loss. She had such a nonstop, infectious smile and one of the most sweetest girls I've ever known. God Bless you and may you Rest in Peace

I felt as though I knew you a long time, but didn't know you nearly long enough! I m sure God loves you and we will see each other on the other side sis and we will do all we can to help Tom and Steelers thru their loss. Sorry I never met Anthony or his new wife, but my heart goes out to them and your dad and stepmom and your mom and stepdad as well. You will be missed!
