Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity...These are just a few of the qualities that aptly describe Theresa Lewis. We first met during my consultancy as a writer with the former National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise in Washington, where she provided impeccable administrative support. That professional encounter grew into our close and enduring friendship over decades and distances. During her illness, I also saw the devotion in Theresa's local friendships, some dating from childhood. I will deeply miss "The Duchess," but I am comforted by our shared Christian belief that as a woman of great faith, she has been rewarded with eternal peace.

Theresa was such a dear and loving person. I am so sad at this news. God will surely bless her as she takes her rest. Lord be gracious unto us!
