I am deeply sad to know about your pass... You were and still are an inspiration for me and specially for my daughter Sonia Gertler who was you student for a long time until you retired. Thank you for your dedication and your kindness. May your soul rest in the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You were my dance teacher and you inspired in me the to always put your best foot forward. I did not see it then but now I think of the dance steps you taught me from the basic hop shuffle tap tap has stuck with me to this day. I will miss you as so many of your students will. You brought joy to all us that you taught and lit a light of inspiration in us that hope I have passed on when ever I danced.

I am so sorry. I was one of her very happy dancers for 10 years. She, and Gloria Dorais, enriched my life when I was a kid. The world is a better place for Theresa having been here.

Deepest sympathy to you, Susan, and your family. Loved being a part of the dance community Theresa created! It was so much more than dance. It was positive, fun, a huge confidence builder, a feeling of being caught up in the big show! Her legacy is something very special! We stayed in close touch over the years, exchanging Christmas greetings and family photos. Theresa was a bright light, and her life long lessons have had a lasting impact on so many. She was such an inspiration! The Show Must Go On!
God Bless!

Theresa was my inspiration. My dancing students always ask me why I change my dresses and I tell them it is because that is what my dance teacher inspired me to do. Such an uplifting inspirational woman. Her love of the dramatic vaudevillian/Broadway style is how I shall always remember her. Rhinestones a plenty. Rest in sweet peace, with love, dancingly yours, Lisa (lanoue) Gallagher

What a beautiful person, inside and out, Miss Theresa was. I spent so many happy years with her and the studio. There are so many memories of all the shows we did...recitals, parades, dancing at the senior homes, dancing for the Bishop, even dancing at the prison, dancing on t.v. I met so many wonderful people through the years of dancing and teaching. She always gave so much of herself. My deepest sympathies to her family, whom she loved so much. She lives within us all. Rest in peace.

My heart is heavy hearing that such a bright beam of light has been extinguished here on Earth. She will forever shine in the heavens above and remind us always to live our lives to the fullest! Theresa will forever hold a very special place in my heart and gave me such a love for dance and appreciation for life in general.."Shine your shoes,slick your hair,come along with me"!!
My deepest condolences to her entire family..Forever dancing,
"your fastest tap dancer" Pam Mcdermott Morse

I am sadden of the news of her passing. She taught a lot of us to dance to smile and to be graceful. Miss Theresa put us on stage and made us Stars, she gave us confidence to stand tall and also to not be afraid to be in front. She not only taught us, but once we learnt , she gave us opportunity to teach with her. What an amazing Women . My deep condolences to her wonderful Susan her grandchildren and friends and families along with all her students and every little star she lit up! To you Miss Theresa Landry, Baby We Take A Bow. Rest In Paradise .
