Wishing you a Happy Birthday

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.

I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly.

Miss you always!

Today is different. No matter how much the mind tries to surcomvent the pain of longing to be in your presence, the heart cannot deny the physical & emotional ache of simply needing to be. I tried. I am trying today. I will keep trying. Many continue to give you tribute as we all experience unexpectedly running into a person who knew you. Mostly from your personal calling in the medical world. Now that Brittany is an OT at a hospital it seems like Dr's, Nurses, patients come out of the history of your life and wrap your arms around Brittany during her calling to serve in the medical field in a similar fashion as you;with integrity, commitment, passion, laughter, compassion, advocacy, continued education, friendship, family, love, hard work, iron will. Those hugs are passed from your love shared in those people, they pass on to Britt, she passes stories to us. The circle of life. You ARE with us. We honor and continue to share our hearts with you and Dad, together in our special memorial which Mom created. Your family who loves you with all they have. We have not moved on from you. We have moved with you Theres, and taken you with us. Your truth speaks louder every year. It will continue to do so. I validate your life with truth. And remembering God loves you more than me. Keep sending us all the Angels needed to get the job done!

Tammy Frodyma

May 9, 2017

Its hard to believe that another year has passed. I miss our conversations, our laughs, and our friendship. You enter my thoughts almost daily and even my conversations with many doctors who still speak so highly of you. Keep watch over us and always know how much you are loved.

Joanne Rourke

May 8, 2017

Theresa you left us too soon. I miss our conversations, your advice, sharing stories and laughs. Your physical presence is such a great loss. You inspired us with your courage facing challenges and your passion in caring for others. I think of you often when I see flowers and recall your love of gardening. Theresa you will always be missed...you will live in our hearts and memories forever.

Beth Nardacci

My sis Theresa would have turned 50 this week here on our planet. Instead she is somewhere else experiencing that which no one has returned from, what i believe is beyond our limited comprehension of sheer love-joy-freedom.
I can only hope and hold fast to that faith in God which my heart today and most days cannot grasp along side the emptiness and void left once they are gone from our touch. Believing is not minus pain. 8/1/16 Di. Your family carries your truths of integrity onward.

August 2, 2016

Theresa, August 1st, your birthday! Your love and light lifts our hearts, you remain an endless source of inspiration and gratitude.

May 9, 2014

Theres, i guess you can probably read my mind now so why am i writing these words. I think of that daily, that you are actually closer to me, to us all, than you ever were in a body because now your spirit is without limits and borders. So i think, alot. Like, wow, you are seeing me and with me everyday, everywhere. I like that thought. I really do. Just that the other thoughts that seep in so strong are those of angst in the emptiness without you physically here. Please shine your light, as bright as your beautiful eyes, right through us all here, who love you so, so we can make you proud by living our lives onward in the midst of missing you so. Send forth the angels you have command over. I know you are in charge of many in heaven. See you soon Sis <3

May 9, 2014

If possible I LOVE you more everyday,this has been such a tough year without you, but knowing what an impact you have made on so many lives helps to ease my heart ache. They say time heals all wounds, but I know this type of pain can never truly go away and that's a good thing, because if you weren't so special it would be easy to move on. Thank for the memories!
Love You Always
ME

I cannot believe today makes it a whole year that you've been gone. There hasn't been a day that's gone by that you aren't thought of and missed more than words could ever explain. It's said that as time passes the fact that someone's gone gets easier...I do not see this ever happening with the kind of impact you had on all of our lives and the void that is there without you here. I know your always watching over us all. We love and miss you to the moon and back<3

To my "BFF,"

I cannot believe it has been a year since you left us.
I miss you so much. You were my sounding board, offering words of wisdom, strength, and courage when I needed it the most. Your friendship was like no other.
I miss you so much- there isn't a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I hope you remain at peace.

YOUR BFF,

It's your Birthday this week. This time last year we were celebrating at the campground on vacation by putting candles in the claws of your Birthday lobster and eating ice cream cake with John. Although this year won't be the same we are all thinking of you and will be celebrating your life and how much you changed all of ours. You have impacted my life forever and you will never be forgotten. ~Ride like a Girl~

June 13, 2013

I was in the same home room with Theresa all through high school and she was always one of my very favorite classmates at Catholic Central. I haven't lived in the area since graduating, but another of our classmates told me about her passing. Even after all these years, I still remember her as being one of the sweetest, happiest, friendliest people in our class. She was never a member of any "clicks", but just a genuine good person. I am so sorry for your loss, but I have no doubt she truly did ascend to heaven on the wings of angels. Tami Brown (Midway, UT)

June 12, 2013

This site is but a fraction of a milliliter in comparison to the amount of people, experiences, memories, love, kindnesss, characteristics, qualities my sister owned in this "blink of an eye" lifetime here on earth>*** May it best be stated as this: there is no space wide enough, no cavern deep enough, no time long enough, no stars high enough, no wedges formed enough, no people strong enough, no sadness great enough, no decisions made enough, no weapons created enough, no days empty enough....that will ever keep you from what I know we all shared with you....a love of a lifetime! A sister irreplaceable to me who will exist in: the sweet moments of my soul, the tender thoughts of 46yrs of loving you, in the distant glimmer of the moon, in the deadly quiet stillness of the long nights, in the daily daydreams from childhood through your last days....when you kissed me and said, " I never kissed you enough Di"...I will hold those beautiful words as long as I am alive and collect on them in the hope of embracing you again. Theresa Bulger McIntyre* my sister, my friend, my family...'Well done thy good and faithful servant'

It saddens me to hear of Theresa's passing. She was such a good friend. We knew almost instantly the day we met at Cortland that we had a special connection and that developed into a strong friendship over the years. I will miss her very much, but my memories of her and her sense of humor will always make me smile. My thoughts are with you and your family today and always.
