So very sorry to hear that Theresa has passed away. We met a few years ago when Theresa needed a ride to church. We gladly picked her up. We became good friends and I looked forward to our weekly chat. She was a hard working lady during her lifetime and family were everything to her. I will miss her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Treasure your memories.
