In Loving Memory

My prayers are with Teresa’s family at this sad time. I have the best of memories of her as a teacher of her children. She was always so supportive, friendly and kind to me. It was always a pleasure to see her. She also loved to give updates on her children. Her death is way too soon. I am wishing the peace that can come from our faith.

Teri was our neighbor and she was wonderful! I always enjoyed our chats and will miss her sweet, funny, caring, compassionate soul. She was taken way too soon. Cancer sucks. Our love and thoughts go out to Jeff, Tay and Annie. Teri will be missed.

Teri was an amazing Mother, Nurse and friend. I worked with her for a number of years, remarkable, and did wonderful things. I remember when she had breast cancer, ran into her at Bed Bath and Beyond and she told me then about Pancreatic Cancer. We hugged and I let her check out, I walked through the store crying buckets. Sending love and prayers to all of your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Teri's passing. I will forever admire her energy, optimism, and good humor. My relationship with Teri was entirely "bagel- bound", as we met and became friends at Rich's. We met and bonded over cancer, and I believe we helped each other through some struggles. But mostly, I remember how happy I was whenever our paths crossed at many breakfasts over the years. Teri always had a kind word or a funny story, and it always made my day! She was such a beautiful soul -- always positive and always inspiring. I am a better person for having known her. I share my deep sympathy withJeff and her children; I am wishing you all love and peace.

Jeff, Tay and Annie I was so sorry to hear the news about Terry. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. Such a warm, caring and loving person. I met Terry 23 years ago at St. Thomas Moore and worked with her at St. John the Baptist Elementary School. Our kids attended school together at the Skaggs Catholic Center. I know she will be missed deeply, my prayers and thoughts are with you during the time. I wish you love and peace. The Leonard Family
