I knew Theresa first as little sister to Sandy. Cute little tag along sometimes. The last time I saw her was at Sandy's house in Pennsylvania. Sandy was in hospice herself at the time and I was in awe of the support she received from Theresa. Best of all Theresa outdid herself cooking a dinner one night worthy of her mother's and Sandy's best Italian meals. My daughter Lauren was with me and she enjoyed listening to memories, looking at photos and hearing us all talk over old times. I am so thankful for the time we had together then. She will be in my thoughts on September 6th. I live in Michigan and won't be able to travel for the funeral but so wish I could be there.
