Dear friend.... will surely miss you...
My condolences to all the family. Teresa was a true friend. I haven't seen her in three years or so, I am heart broken. I didn't know she was sick. Teresa was always cheerful and dependable to be there for you anytime you talked to her. She always had a smile on her face and that is how I will remember her. She wasn't just a friend, but a true friend. She was always busy doing something for others, whether it be family or friends. I will remember her also for the big Razorback fan she was. I could not keep up with her and her tail-gate parties she went to. She loved life and was quite the active one in just about every aspect of life. I say to the family, remember the good times for this is what she would want. I pray for the family for your loss, but know she is in a better place and you will one day see her again. I dearly loved Teresa and she will be so missed by myself. My heart is broken with her passing. Love in Christ.
We could not have asked for a better neighbor and friend. From the first moment I met Teresa she was a friend. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jimmy and family.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one, Teresa. It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much. The Bible reminds us that God sees our pain and sorrow and has promised that soon "death will be swallowed up forever."(Isaiah 25:8) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved to life again.(John 6:40) Until then, I hope the beautiful memories of Teresa and these promises from God comfort you in the days to come.
Thoughts love and prayer to you all. RIP Mrs. Teresa fly high upon that mountain. You will be truly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with Teresa's family and friends. We went to school together and she was a blessing to know. All though I have not seen her in years, I have never forgot that beautiful smile she had. God comfort you and hold you close during this time.
Teresa was a wonderful person. It was clear how proud she was of her kids (and grandkids). I never saw Teresa in a bad mood. She will be missed. My deepest sympathy goes to the family.
We keep you all in our prayers. May God gives you peace as He is the great comforter.Love to all
Jimmy, Randi, Suzy, and Lisa also Rachel,
Terry and I are heartbroken, not only because Teresa is no longer here on earth, but heartbroken for all of you, who we love so dearly.
There are just no words to express how dear to us Teresa is. I say is, not was, because she will remain with us the rest of our lives. Teresa, a friend like I will never have again. She lit up the room where ever she was. She saved me more than once. She was always there for me and my girls. Oh the fun we have had over the years... So many, many wonderful memories.
I know by now she is loving on Forest, her Dad and Mom. All of you are in our prayers. I pray for God to wrap you in his arms of comfort, to give each of you strength, and to bless each one of you with the blessing of knowing you will see her again one day in Heaven. We are here for each one of you. So long Teresa, until we meet again.
