Aunt Theresa  will be so missed.  She  gave so freely of her time, energies and love to her family, unconditionally ❤.   Those qualities are to be admired and taught to all.  The world has been blessed with her in our lives.  Thank you for all  the summer time slumber parties they provided much needed Fun! 

 My love and sincerest condolences to all her family.  Stay strong because she taught you all how to live well.

One of our outstanding memories is that Theresa never forgot our birthdays.  Each year she would call us on our birthday, sing "Happy Birthday," and chat for a few minutes to give us her best wishes.  We also have wonderfully fond memories of Lee's and Theresa's 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration...it was a great family time!!  Fun memories of going to Black Hawk with the two of them as well!!  Two extraordinary people who will truly be missed!! 

Forever in our hearts,

Richard & Pat Laughlin

Theresa was a “Mother”, “Grandmother” to everyone she encountered.  Her love for family is evident the moment you walk through her front door.  She will always be in my heart as the Mother of Love.  Theresa immediately pulled you into her loving ways reflecting her Belief and love for God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  The hand of The Great Virgin Mary has brought her home.  I believe she will always watch over not only her Great Family, but all of us whose lives she touched with her Grace.  Rest In Peace Theresa.

My deepest love goes to Theresa and the Romero family. She was a godmother to me and I have so many vivid childhood memories of her laugh, smile and unconditional love she always showed me and my family. Some of the fondest memories I have are falling asleep in her arms, sitting with her and playing the organ, sharing those wonderful candied mints (handfuls), summer vacations, and eating her infamous Green Chili. She touched the lives of so many people with her positive attitude, zest for life, and free spirit. To say she will be missed is an understatement. I love her so much! My heart will always be filled with joy when I think about her...

Aunt Theresa
Thanks to God for giving us time and memories with you fulfilled with love, laughter, and learning. The time we (us six little girls) went walking through grocery store and people thinking “wow, how does that lady have six girls and them thinking you had three sets of twins 😂, sitting around in a circle knitting baby sweaters and shawls, going for VERY long hikes around the lake, only later to learn you were exhausted and a little scared when we got back to campsite (thinking maybe you may have bit off more than you can chew) you were a brave person to go on that hike with six little girls.  Our picnics and the many get togethers will always be cherished.  We loved you very much and you will be missed but remembered lovingly!  Rest now Auntie and say hello and give our love to Uncle Lee, my Dad and my Sister MaryEllen and of course our Auntie Bessie, Uncle Gil and Mama and Papa.

The few times we went to Colorado you welcomed us with open arms.  You were such a caring and loving person. I know that Uncle Lee and my dad (Tony) and the rest of the gang are waiting for you. You will be missed.  RIP

I remember a verse from many years ago - "You can shed a tear that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived."  I've shed the tears but cannot help but smile when I think about the wonderful memories Theresa has left behind. 

I have been blessed to have known Theresa for over 50 years.  Her husband, Lee, was a father figure to me.  Theresa was a mother figure to me as well as the other members of my family.  I will always remember our "kitchen table" chat times.   There was never a shortage of great memories to laugh about and share.  
 
Theresa was a lovely, precious gift who will be greatly missed by all.  However, a great part of her stays behind.  She's leaves  a legacy of love with the beautiful family that still lives on.  This was her true pride and joy in life.   

As I always said when I left or hung up the phone after our visits.  Theresa, I love you.   My family loves you, too.  
  

My Dearest Mommy, we were so blessed that God gave you to us to be our mother! You loved and gave of yourself each and every day of your entire life to your family! I shared with you 60 years of so many warm and tender memories all of which I will keep in my heart and mind for the rest of my life! I loved the journey we had with you the last few years!! I was so lucky to have the opportunity to spend so much quality time just chatting about life and memories, listening to all of your favorite songs with you, and all of our google searches....I was blessed to have you! Thank you for everyday you gave to me! Daddy finally has you again in his arms just like you dreamed of!  I love you so dearly and you will always be with me, I know that for sure!
All my love forever, Cheryl
