It is a year today, and I'm still lost, and miss you so much. Aaron reminded me that there should be no more tears and no more sorrow, as you are no longer in pain, and I am so greatful of that.
You are and always will be my sister, my friend, and I love you forever, until we can see each other someday face to face. Then I will hug you and tell you we are finally together again.

To Mike and Family
Teresa was my sister, my friend, my supporter. When I felt so low that there was no one in this world who would love me, she said, " I Love You. You are special, and beautiful." That was her, the one that would try to make you feel better when you were low, and what I will remember and miss about her. For the last 5-7 years, I would call moms and talk to mom and Teresa every Saturday night. It was our time to catch up with each other, and we would talk, cry, laugh, but always keep in touch.
When I would come home for visits, there was always people dropping over, calling her mom. At first it was weird, but now, it just amazes me to know that she was so loved by so many.
I am lost, but at the same time, comforted in the fact that she is no longer suffering. Now she can watch over all her loved ones from above.
I Love You Sissy.

To Teresa's family
I will miss her. I have known her for several years thru DQ. She always made a point to say Hello when we stopped in. I will miss her smile. God Bless you & we were all very lucky to have known her

I wish to express to Teresa's family how sad I am too hear of her passing. I met Teresa when I started working at the 3 Rivers Mall Dairy Queen in 1990 and she was working at the other DQ in Kelso. There is no dought that Teresa was part of the DQ family and always will be. Teresa was such a good worker and knew her stuff and it was such a pleasure for me to get to know her and work with her. Even after I left DQ and Teresa moved to the new DQ on 13th we didn't see each other that much but everytime I would go in there it was so nice to see her smiling face and she would take a few minutes out of her busy day and find out how I was doing and how my family was. I made sure that she was the one who made my ice cream cone because she would always sneak a little extra on there for me. Some people may wonder how could she had worked at DQ for 21 years and still have a smile on her face. It is not an easy job but Teresa was good at it and like me loved working for Rod and Karen. So now when I go there it will be sad but then all I have to do is remember her smile and kindness and that will be in my heart forever. Thank you Teresa for being my friend.
