  1. This is so heartbreaking! Terry Ann was always a loving sis-n-law to me and always made me feel welcomed into the family. I wish I would’ve seen her in person before she went home with our loving Father, but I know she’s looking down at me , talking her ca-ca! I’m gonna miss her outgoing personality & craziness…. Terry Ann, rest in peace and tell your dad & Floyd, I miss and love them too…

  2. I will have nothing but great memories of Teresa, I’m at Teresa when I was 16 years old and she was pregnant with Liza. She hated me because I knew she was pregnant.😂 we became great friends me and her sisters also, I will miss her food that she would make on Thanksgiving, especially her food salad, and I never got to get the recipe from her. She will be very much and loved. I wish I was could’ve seen her before she went home with the Lord Teresa you will be missing. I love you always.

  3. Oh Theresa, it has been quite a few years since our paths have crossed but I remember you like it was yesterday. You always had a huge smile and a comforting hug. My you fly high with the angels and rest peacefully in eternal peace peace.❤️

  4. Theresa was always so kind and welcoming to everyone that she encountered. She was the BEST cook at CRL, she would always make me the perfect grilled chicken salad. She will be missed by so many! RIP Theresa
