The family of Teresa would like to thank all of those who have provided food, love, and support to the family during Teresa’s illness and passing.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
