Tommy & Family,

Our deepest condolences go out to your family.
Teresa has run the race, she has fought the fight, she has finished the course, she has kept the faith;
there is laid up for her the crown of righteousness, which the Lord will award on that day.
Praise God for her life and all of you that love her so.
Our prayers are with you all.
In Christ Jesus,

I cannot comprehend the loss that the family must be feeling at this time. She was a precious lady whose warm smile and kindness beamed throughout Saturn for the 7 years I knew her despite the pain and suffering. Knowing her and the strong faith we shared was such a blessing. May you be comforted by beautiful memories and knowing that you will see her again in heaven one day.

I worked with Teresa at Saturn. I work for EDS supporting Teresa's area. I enjoyed working with Teresa all those years. She never complained. We had some good times.

Teresa has such a good heart and loved her family dearly. She always talked about her babies and asked me about mine.

Teresa, I am sure going to miss you. I know we will see each other again one day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Skinner family at this difficult time. We only breifly knew Teresa through casual conversations and back deck waves but there was no doubt that she was a warm and loving person. She will be greatly missed.

A letter to Ma

God is so divine in nature. He sent me to you and blessed my world with your love and covering. From childhood through adulthood I have been attached to your right hip and I will admit that I am spoiled to some extent, but it was all your fault. A good spoiled. You have mold me and inspired me to be the very best me that I can be. Character strength and just plain good will, you have taught me to be the successful person I am today. I have given you all of me that I have to give I pray that it was enough.You have been my very best friend and we've shared more than anyone could ever fathom. I'll always remember our Jamaica trips and other small trips we've taken alone. Taking you to work every morning and stopping for coffee as our little thing together. I learned so much more about you in the last 3 years and I Adore you . I would tear up and you never saw me or at least acted like you didnt but I knew God was finishing your mansion soon. God has prepared us for 10 years for this very moment. He has revealed to me that I was made for moments like this. I've lifted you up before God and cried for a modern day miracle that he will make your pain and suffering cease with a bill of good health, but may 10th he picked a beautiful flower for his garden and I wasnt upset i was and am so happy for you. I made a promise to God that I will give him praise anyway because he is so very worthy of it. You told me 2 weeks ago that you have raised all your kids even grankids and you have touched their lives and you are content with just that. Ma, you touched more than you know. I yearn to have your smile that lights up a room, your amicableness, beauty, poise, patience,... I could go on for days. I love you so much and my selfishness doesnt want to let you go, BUT GOD who is rich in mercy...

I love you to no end...

I worked with Teresa at Saturn. I worked for EDS and she worked for GM. If you needed to know something or something needed to be done, Teresa was the person to see. Even when she battled breast cancer, she did so with dignity and grace. I feel so blessed that I knew her and worked with her. The world is a little sadder without her, but heaven is rejoicing. I pray that GOD will hold you in his arms during your time of grieving. Over time HE will turn your sorry into precious memories that you will have forever.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

We were so sorry to hear of Teresa's passing. She was such a special lady. She always wore a smile and never seemed to give up hope. We will miss her dearly! The Bahrke's (neighbors).
