My cousin Teresa was the most beautiful soul, she was always the first one there when you needed anything. She would make you smile and laugh every time you would see her. Her light shined bright for the world to see. I remember growing up and going to grandmas or uncle bobby’s her always being there, I always knew that we were going to have fun. In our adult life we all drifted apart but seeing her every now and then would bring such good memories and we would talk for hours. She will be missed. Heaven gained an amazing angel!!!
Teresa was a kind and loving person but would show you a muscle or get you laughing with a joke
You may have known her as Teresa but to me she was my Rece-pop. I will always appreciate the love and attention you gave me as a child. I will always cherish the memories of our walks and talks, and your world famous chocolate milk ; ) you always made me smile and feel important, especially during the hard times. You always had a positive attitude and strength that I don’t think can be measured by us regular humans. There will never be another like you. I will miss you and love you so much. Heart and soul ❤️ until I see you in heaven. I’ll hug your neck and kiss your face and we will all be together again.
I could write a book on the 40+ years I’ve know you and your family. The many nights I spent over on red bud and boy the memories that we made. We would laugh until we cried and cried until we laughed. I will miss your jokes every time we talked. Teresa had a heart of gold and he would do anything she could for you and if you had her in your corner no one and I mean no one would mess with you. Teresa never ended a phone call without saying “I love you sissy, heart and soul” and she meant it. Rest easy ole friend as you have earned and deserve peace. No more sickness with a whole new complete body. Give my sweet doodie pop a hug and a kiss for me because I know you have seen him already. He loved you so much. You will be loved and missed but never forgotten. I love you sissy, HEART AND SOUL ❤️
Teresa was one of a kind she had a heart of gold and so sweet and caring she always loved to tell her jokes you will be missed by ys all fly high my fry may you rest in peace i love you my friend ❤️
It was such a joy to sit with MRs. Teresa on several occasions (usually hospital visits) and listen to her crazy jokes and stories of adventure in her wheel chair. She was a happy soul and a resilient woman, She is leaving such an incredible legacy in Chasity and Finnegan. That fun outgoing spirit is definitely being passed on. I was glad to hear form her that she had placed her trust in Jesus for her salvation.
I had the pleasure of meeting Teresa 8 years ago when I first moved down here from Massachusetts. We became friends and often talked, lending an ear to each other during tough times and trials/tribulations. No matter the tough times, Teresa also had the gift of helping others smile with her endless jokes and with humor. Teresa will be dearly missed
My beautiful cousin was a life well lived. May her jokes live on.
She will be forever loved and never forgotten.
May happy memories one day replace the sad in our hearts. My condolences to all.
