I will miss Theresa and her wonderful sense of humor. I was her case manager at Warren County Division of Senior services and will miss my visits with her and our long friendly lunches. She was such a delight. Rosemary Martinez

Ricky, Chrissy, and family,
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I worked with her at Wendy's. Theresa had a great sense of humor and enjoyed stories from her past. She was a wonderful friend for 28 years. Hang in there.

Dear Ricky and Chrissy,
Dad, Mark and I were so sorry to hear of Aunt Theresa's passing. She was always such a lively person, never a dull moment when she was around. I always enjoyed the cartoon clipping she would send in her annual Christmas Card. We will miss her.

To Ricky, Chrissy, and family,
Theresa was special to me and Art(RC)and always had nice things to say about our girls. She was kind, generous, and loved to banter back and forth for a good laugh, or tell you funny antics from her past. I will miss that about her.
Our thoughts and love are with all of you...Linda, RC, Lara, & Lindsey Hill

Rick and MaryAnn sorry to hear of Theresa's passing.Occasionally on my lunch break she would lower her mail out of the second floor window of the apartment and I would take it to the post office for here.Delivering a treat from Soups on Us,SPSJ, would mean a cartoon or a poem to go. She was so sweet. May the Lord hold Theresa in the palm if His hand.

My wife and I were so sorry to hear about Theresa passing. She was such a wonderfull person and a great neighbor here at Andover Kent. I sat and talked with her many times and I always left with a smile on my face. She use to tell so many stories and never failed to make me laugh. We are going to miss her so much as we came to think of her as family. Words cant express how deeply saddened we are at this time. To me its like losing a family member. I will never forget her and my deepest sympathies to her whole family. There will never be another like her.

On behalf of the Phillipsburg Area Meals on Wheels staff and volunteers, we would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Theresa Kindred.

It was our sincere pleasure to serve Theresa when she lived in the Andover Kent Bldg. Theresa was probably one of the funniest ladies we have ever met. She always had a smile and a joke! Heaven is never going to be the same once Theresa gets there!! We will, indeed, miss your infectious laugh, your smile and your philosophy on life. God speed, Theresa!

My deepest condolences to Ricky, Chrissy and family. Theresa has been more than a friend to us for so long, more like somewhat of what you would say second Mom. She was also there for any words of wisdom and my help for putting my thoughts to the correct words. As you can tell I am missing her for that right now. I will truly miss her phone calls and have been missing her at parties! Sending our Love!!!! God Bless you Theresa!!!!
