My beautiful cousins, i am so sorry to know you lost your mother and grandmother. I loved my Aunt Theresa very much. Loved her smile, sense of humor and how much she adored her family.
I have so many memories with all of us together. Beautiful memories that still play out in my mind and often in dreams. My love and hugs to you all. I will see her again someday in another time and place and we will share a good laugh and dance the night away.
Your cousin, Dax
My deepest condolences to you Peggy and your family. From the time I knew Ms. Teresa she was so kind, she will always have a space in my ❤️ and there she will remain. I’d like to thank you and your brother for being there for her, helping her, and taking care of her. She’s such a special woman and will always be there with you!
Peggy and Family so sorry for your loss.
Thank you Minta, my mother loved spending time and talking with you. She was always asking me about you.
