— Joyce Barrette, December 22, 2024Rose, Theresa, Cathy, Bill & Family. Please except my sincere condolences. I was really saddened to see that your Mom had passed away. I was fortunate to meet her a few years ago when she was out and about in Mount Forest with Rose. I was also quite surprised to see she hadn't changed over the years & was still just as beautiful as always. Theresa always had a smile & a kind greeting. I will always remember her patience when all of us teenagers hung around her house. I'm sure some of her grey hairs were due to us. May you find peace & healing in all the beautiful memories you created with your Mom & Grandma. Rest in peace Theresa 💕
— Joan Stevens, December 22, 2024Was very sad to hear of your Mom’s passing.
She was a wonderful friend to Helen, our mom and I can see them together getting their hair done in time for Christmas celebrations in their heavenly hair salon.
She will be missed by everyone who knew her.
My sincere condolences to Theresa's family.
For many years, once a week,I enjoyed seeing Theresa as a client and a friend. I was fortunate that she chose to stay in touch with me after I retired. She'd call just to see how I was doing....we shared a love of family and traded stories about them, especially the grandkids. I will miss those calls and remember Theresa fondly.
