She is fondly called “Tessie” by relatives and friends. Tessie herself is a survivor in her own way. Predeceased by her husband, she raised 5 children. On her own, she gave them what a mother should to her children, a home, food on their table and education, and above all, love to each and every one of her children. She is a kind hearted person, uniquely a cat lover, and loves to plant in the backyard.
She is survived by children Betty Weber, Edmundo (Nestoria) Roberto, Lorelie (Floredno) Odejar, six grandchildren; Mark (Jho Ann), April, Hannilore, Karl Edmund, Adrien (Tina), Joakima and four great grandchildren; PJ, Luna, Yana and Logan. She is predeceased by her daughter Dottie (Jerry) Carter and Juliet Doss.
A part of our life will be empty without her. She will be missed but never forgotten.
Thank you all for your kind thought, prayer, and other acts of kindness and gestures during these difficult times. We appreciate the sympathy you have expressed during our bereavement. God bless you all and thank you.
