I think of you often Theresa, and have visited your final resting place many times.  I remember how caring and thoughtful you were.  How you loved to decorate the final resting places of your loved ones for every birthday, holiday, and special occasion.  I miss riding the train with you.  I don't ride much anymore but when I do I think of the times we sat and talked through our entire ride.   I miss you friend!

Always,
Wendy

BFF/Bestie rest in peace. Always cherished and remembered.💗

I can’t believe it’s been 2 years. Time can appear to move very quickly and very slowly simultaneously. I miss you everyday Theresa…bowling, chats on the train nearly every morning, the way you loved to decorate for every holiday. Your memory is a blessing.

Always, Wendy

We are so sorry to hear of Theresa’s passing. I fondly remember and will cherish the warm talks we had when both of our kids were young. 
She was a beautiful lady with a great smile, and a very kind heart. Our prayers remain with your family.  From the Walker’s —Richard, Ursula, Nicole and Andrea

We wish you Peace and Comfort as you grieve. Love Joseph, Patricia & Maryann Frontino

My daughter and I were on the same tour of China with Theresa in Oct 2017. We spent some time chatting over meals and sitting together on our tour bus. I got a kick out of her love for all things Disney and we will always regret not going with her to Shanghai Disney. I admired her zest for life and how she carried herself.  She cherished her family.  A beautiful spirit gone way too soon. Please accept my condolences on her loss. May she rest in peace.

Theresa: my mentor, sister, momma, auntie, and dearest friend. I am so glad I constantly told you how much I appreciate and love you! You’ve been here for every milestone in my life my first career job interview, all of my baby showers, when I said “yes” and even “I do”. My family loves you beyond measure and we miss your smile accompanied by that sweet little laugh. Words do not do your beautiful soul justice #BestOfTheAbsoluteBest #Irreplaceable #ForeverInOurHearts 

I met Theresa on the Gold Line or more correctly she reached out to me.  I was fortunate enough to be sitting in the section of the car she sat everyday, quietly listening to the conversation around me when she drew me in.  From that day, more than 7 years ago, she exemplified what a good and caring soul is.  She never went out of her way to lend a hand, say a kind word, or spend time with people, it was her way.  She was passionate, caring, dedicated, exuberant about life.  Theresa was always encouraging, always grateful for the good and never dwelt on the bad.  She has taught me a lot about how to be in this world. Theresa was love in action and the world will be a little less bright without her in it.

To Cliff, Crystal, Maddie and all those who love Theresa, please accept my condolences.  As much as I miss her, I know you miss her more.

Always,
Wendy

Ms. Theresa was like an aunt to my sisters and I, and a great friend to my mother. I'm so happy to have shared laughs--loved her laugh-- and many special memories with her. She has always been so helpful and loving. Such an open heart. She even helped plan my wedding. You are loved and I will truly miss you. 

To Ms. Theresa or as she would say.. no I’m Auntie Theresa ❤️ That she is.

My mother is Ronji and Aunt Theresa has been here for our family for almost as long as I’ve been alive I have memories as far as 4 years old. Im in my 30’s now. She has been there for our family through all the good and through all the worst of times, she’s just been there. Period. She always asked anytime we just was sending a invite “what can I do, how can I help baby” that’s who she was. Even though it would be just great enough to have her huge energy, her great sense of humor to be present at the event she always just wanted to be of service always wanting to help. You can’t find that in people! To me I would tell her in a joking way, “You’re a Real One”  ! Lol because she is. My baby shower for my first daughter she helped make it so special and every moment after that. She loved my family, she loves my daughters she loved my mother she is just a great person! Life will be different without her energy, her hugs, her kisses, her rubbing my back when hugging me ! Thank You! I will forever think of you you’re a great soul ! You will be missed beyond words, I don’t know what a gathering will be without   you ! Thank you for your service in this dim   world, your energy brought so much light and life! I miss you and love you! 
I’ve attached a picture of you being front and center at my baby shower for my youngest daughter in 2018 ❤️ Rest well.  Auntie Theresa

My sister-friend Theresa,

God blessed me twenty years ago when we met on our PCC field trip. We were classmates, co-workers, Disney park buddies and most of  all “Ohana” family. It’s so hard to say good-bye, but I know your with Our Lord in heaven. You were my guardian angel here on earth, 

Noah says, “Theresa was like my auntie and I’m going miss her a lot.”  

We’ll cherish and hold on to the memories we shared together.

Love you and miss you,
 Noah and Anita


Theresa was special. She always went above and beyond to help someone, no matter the circumstance.  She always had a smile on her face and a song in her heart. I had the pleasure of knowing this beautiful soul for 30 years. We were not just friends, she was my sister. She planned my retirement party last year and made sure I went out with a bang. My only regret is that we (her friends) did not get the chance to plan her retirement party.  Theresa liked to travel and she and I and several other friends traveled to Hawaii on a 15 day cruise. She was full of life and adventure. Out of the group that went to Hawaii, Theresa was the only one who went ziplining and had a ball. I will never forget her smile, her laugh, her thoughtfulness, the way she cared for others.  I spoke to her the day before our God called her home and although we were on stay at home orders, she was out doing what she does - helping others.  I still catch myself talking about her in the presence.  She will always hold a special spot in my heart  and never be forgotten. Theresa was in love with Ms. Maddie who was the delight of her world.  I am so thankful that she got to meet her beautiful granddaughter. RIP my friend, my sister
Love you always, Gwendolyn 

She the biggest Disney fan that I know besides myself!! From a Girl Scout Troop co leader she always made me laugh and smile 😊. She  always what to do and say and was so caring and understanding like another Mother. 
  From our cruise days with my mom and crystal we always had the best of time. She help me so much with my wedding and baby shower , she always checks up on  my daughter jasmine As we would do the same. She had style in everything she did. Mrs Theresea will always be with me we had so many memories. 
  She made life fun !! We will never forget her she's is our 👼 guardian angel. 

My dear friend,

Its been tough processing the news since the day I received the call.  I think of you often and see you throughout my home- in the things you've giving me throughout the years. You were the source of love for so many people. Your thoughtfulness and giving had no boundaries. 

Ill miss your calls to go bargain hunting and as you would say  "lets go run around town"  followed by  lunch at some delicious place only a local would know even existed.

Go with the wind. And know your team of girls will always look after your 3 precious loved ones. We got them T.  Love you! 

So many memories. Aunt Theresa gave me my first job which opened up so many doors for me. I will forever be grateful. She went from being my boss to being my family. She was always there for me and my family. She was always there to help me plan something, give advice, to make me laugh, at all our family events and birthday parties. I will definitely miss her.

I have 29 years of memories but we would laugh so hard we would cry sometimes. We worked on work projects, event planning, getaway planning and shared vacations and many outings together.  I could add so much more. The jest of it all is that my world will be void and NEVER the same without Theresa in it. I will miss her so much but appreciate all the good years we shared as friends. I’m blessed to have had her for 29 years. Thank you for sharing her with so many of us...God bless.

I will miss you Theresa, you were always so giving of yourself, we had some good times going out to eat sushi and what ever seem good at the time.. Rest in Peace my friend, and thank you for all the magazines you sent me among other things... RIP T   

I have known Theresa for 35 years. She is my best friend, my bestie. She is the most amazing and selfless person you could ever know. She always thought of others. She always looked out for me. We were there for each other during our ups and downs. She is sharp and articulate.  She planned my wedding and my retirement party. We ate meals together at work almost everyday. I will miss her smile, her laugh, her “Hi Honey! How Are You?” greetings, her hugs, our candid conversations, her texts and emojis that made you smile, shopping excursions, dining out, going to the movies, the vacations we took together with friends and playing the candy  crush game. She loved helping people. She loved to travel and she lived each day to the fullest just to bless others. I have so many wonderful years of memories together with her and I will cherish them.  My heart is broken, but I am comforted in knowing she is safe and resting in the presence of our loving heavenly Father. To Dale, Cliff, Crystal, Ms. Maddie, and the rest of the family, Theresa left a beautiful legacy and she dearly loved each of you. God will comfort you and give you the strength to make it one day at a time.  God is with you and I am here for you if you need me. Theresa will forever be in our hearts.
 ~Love, Chandra

Theresa and I shared a love for Rod Stewart and Al Green.  For the last two years we attended their concerts and had a great time.  I will miss going to their concerts with her.  She was my concert buddy and a great friend as well.  R,I P.  Much 💘
