My deepest and heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Teresa. I was so sad to hear of her passing. Teresa always spoke so lovingly of her family ,and especially of her grandchildren. I will miss talking to her whenever she was working at the store. May she rest in peace.

I have known Teresa since kindergarden and a proud fellow Duryean. She said she was blessed with her wonderful husband, Jed, 4 children and 10 grandchildren. She was always going to see family. I know she will be on the walking path up in heaven. I will cherish our recent conversations. I will miss you my dearest friend! My love and prayers to all her family including John and Betty.
