Theresa,
I just heard about the loss of your Mother and wanted to let you know that I understand what you are going through at this time. My heart and sympathy are with you and your family. I lost my nineteen year old grandson last fall in a terrible automobile accident. So I feel and understand your grief. A Mother is a wonderful thing and I know from our great time talking that she was an extra special Lady. God must be rejoicing with the angels at having her home.
Love and Prayers
Judy Lafferty

Dear Theresa, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, you have our deepest sympathy. She was a wonderful teacher and had such a positive influence on my sons. She taught all three of them, and I truly belive, she really did love her students. She was a special "lady."

Dear Theresa and family: Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother, Betty. We were co-workers at Milton Elem. years ago. I was the art teacher there.Betty was a fine teacher, and I admired her for saying a prayer every morning before she started her class. Most teachers did not do this. We ran into each other a number of times after she left Milton E. and always stopped to chat. May God be with you and the family in your grief. Sincerely, Brenda Bond

Dear Theresa, so sorry to hear of your Mothers death. I have fond memories of her and will always remember when I first met her at Shirley's about 18 yrs ago. She had just gotten out the hospital and when she found out that my mom was Barbara Dawson, an old friend of hers from childhood, her face light up. She was so faithful in her attendance at Lewis and playing that organ meant so much to her. I thought alot of your mom and was always asking my mom about her. God bless you at this time and best wishes in the future. Sincerely, Deb Stephens

My dearest Theresa,
I am so sorry for your loss. As I read about your Mom in the paper, I couldn't help remembering so many good times with your Mom driving us out to the farm in the volkswagon. There are no words...
