Hi Aunt Teresa
We know you are enjoying Heaven with your dear Nancy, as well your family and friends who greeted you there, just as you enjoyed "Every Moment" of your life on Earth. Here, you were the most precious and gracious lady for so many and in so many ways. Heaven is being kept "freshly ironed, tidy and in order" as you did so here on Earth. You were the queen of "comfort food" to your family, as well friends who had the privilege to be fed by your loving hands. Everything you did, you did simply with love: cooking, sewing, choring, traveling, always a card in the mail for someone's birthday or that special gift "just because"....the list is endless. We will remember your sweet voice, your love of favorite music (Perry Como, Jerry Vale, Pat Boone...), your mischievious chuckle, how your bluest of eyes would twinkle and mist when you laughed. 
Thank you for blessing my life: Your love as my Godmother, your name for my Confirmation, Matron of Honor, Godmother to my daughter, Nancy, named after your first angel. I had a second Mom in you, what more can I ask? 
I love you more Aunt Teresa...
Debra Ann Teresa  XO

To My Little Sister, Teresa.
Even though you were older than me, you were always my "little sister" that I always loved.  I will cherish our memories together as kids growing up and our adult memories as well. 

I will miss you, Teresa, but know you will always be with me in spirit.

My love and hugs,
Your sister,
Patricia Ellen Brown

How lucky am I to have been a small part of Teresa's life!! I'm forever grateful to Jeff for bringing Teresa (and Liz) into our lives!  I'm a better person for having known Teresa. Teresa, you were an amazing mom and friend to all of your children and grandchildren. Your beautiful legacy lives on. I love you and I know I'll see you again someday!  God bless!!

Teresa,
I could not pronounce your name at the age of 1 year old so I called you
"Tee Cee".  Ever since God gave you to me as a sister, your were always my strength, the wind beneath my sails, my very precious little sister.  You were the top of he line, Tee Cee, in all categories of life.  You never knew a stranger.  You always could not do enough for me as well as so many others who were part of your life.  You were the best Mother in the world to your children as well as my own children.  Everyone looked up to you always for your wisdom and guidance.  Now, we are still all looking up to you in heaven.  I feel so very close to your children and Joe as they will always resemble your very short presence on this earth.  All of the memories that surface to my mind about you and I growing up, I will need to put on paper.  I am just so very honored and proud that God gave you to me as my sister.  You were the best by far.  I will have a very hard time dealing with your passing.  That should not have happened.  You were all about life and had so much more to give to all of us who needed you so very much.  Now we alll have to start to try to figure out how we are supposed to ever get along without you.  Tee Cee, please do me a big favor and give my "Eddie" a big kiss and hug for me?  I cannot wait to be reunited with the both of you, so therefore I hope to see you both in heaven someday as well as all of our other family members.  I love you so very much Teresa and I will pray for you always.  Please look down on me and continue to lead me in the rght direction as you had done for me all of my life. God, how I am going to miss you.  Be sure to make your Sweedish Pancakes.  Eddie loved them.   So did Nancy, who was like my own also.  All my love, all my life.
Your sister, Doris Marie
(or Dotsy as you called me when you were a baby)  xo xo xo xo, etc..
