I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I loved reading this, "Teresa was extremely devoted to her family." That's something everyone should imitate. She was also a spiritual woman, and likely valued bible truth. There's a scripture that can bring your family comfort. Job chapter 14 verses 14 and 15 (Job 14:14,15) says, "If a man dies, can he live again?... You will long for the work of your hands." The bible says that there's going to be a resurrection our loved ones that have past, including Teresa, and God can't wait to do that. If you had any other questions, please visit jw.org. I hope that helped during this difficult time. Your family will be in my prayers.

Kathy, Cindy, and Patty,

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Teresa always had a friendly smile for neighborhood children, including me. Us "dead end kids" always felt safe. My Mom would always remind us that Teresa was a nurse. Teresa's presence was an important part of that mostly unspoken safety net.

Take Care, Len
