Just found out of the passing of Teresa. Such a sad day. We were friends for 54 years, exchanging cards and phone calls every birthday and Christmas. Teresa was a very good friend and I will miss her very much. My thoughts are with all the family. Wished I could have been there. (My son is typing this for me since I don't see very well anymore)

We give the entire family our deepest sympathy. Aunt Teresa always made it back to NH for marriages and funerals and we were unable to make it to hers . So sad to hear of her passing but floods of memories of family get togethers and Christmases. Calef's cheese, Authur Mayo's fudge, blueberry picking and corn on the cob. She always had the gift to move on past bad times to better days. Now she has her best time as her faith taught her and as she believed . She now rests in peace in heaven with God.

My heart goes out to all of you. Your Mom was a very special lady and so sweet. If I still lived up there I'd be with you today. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy & love,

Had hoped to be delivering my sympathy and love to all of you in person, but Joe is umpiring all weekend, and I am afraid to make the drive alone. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Always will remember the way Aunt Teresa made me laugh with her wonderful sense of humor, the family picnics, and the trips to the mountains. Good memories.
With sympathy, understanding and love,

May the peace of God surround the family of Teresa during this time. Will miss seeing her at the commissary a few times a week with her devoted daughter by her side.
