I am so very sorry to hear about the death of your wife and mother. She will long be remembered in the hearts of numerous people for her laughter, kindness and overwhelming support for anyone in need. There is no one, anywhere that could ever compare to her baking talent. She was unquestionably one of a kind and will be missed.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Teresa played a special role in my life as my childhood babysitter and neighbor. She always made me feel safe and loved. I remember all the beautiful ceramic figures she made me as a child and I looked forward to receiving a birthday card from her every year. She was a very kind and thoughtful person and will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
