I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one. I sincerely hope that our loving Heavenly Father continues to "comfort your hearts" during this difficult time (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17).

To Teresa and her loved ones..........
So blessed to have met and shared some laughs with this wonderful spirit. Yours is a family that knows what true devotion and love is as you show it each and every time the family gathers. Even though the body is no longer here, her spirit will live on in each and every one of you for many years to come and for future generations of your family. Do not mourn a life lost, CELEBRATE A WONDERFUL LIFE LIVED. In God's grip always.

Blessed to be a part of this family. She was always generous with her advice, love and laughter. It's hard to believe she is gone. She always thought of her family first and gave selflessly to us all. We will continue to honor her by continuing to support and love one another until the day we see her again. In the meantime she will still be watching over us.
