I met Teresa in the summer of 1977 and we became friends immediately. We remained friends since then. Over the past 38 yrs (this month), we stayed in touch, no matter the distance between us, even when I lived in Germany for 4 yrs.. We even lived together when we were young and both were single parents. She always made me laugh. She always found the positive in any situation. She acted as “Mom” to her friends even though she was petite and smaller than any of her friends. HA! HA!. She always had good advice! She was a wonderful mother to her son, Blake. Family meant everything to her which included her close friends as well. Her friends and family love her dearly!! And she will be missed so much. Her passing left a hole in my heart. I love you, “T”, and I will see you again some day!! God bless the Hall and Soward families!
I am so heart broken by the loss of such a sweet, loving, caring and giving person. Blake, Pat and Tammy I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that Teresa knew she was loved and she had an incredible family. To all of her family and friends I hope you can find some comfort knowing that she is no longer in pain and she has her wings.
Blake I am very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mother. I pray for comfort for you and your family at this really difficult time in life. I was blessed to know your mother and your family because of your cousin Dustin. I celebrated a few Thanksgivings,Christmas and Easters etc with your family. Your Mother was a great lady and one you I will never forget. Her smile was contagious and her laughs are something I can still remember hearing. Losing a parent when you are that parents only child is a bit harder than some would think,but Blake I promise it will get easier with time. Stay strong for your girls and Ali too. She is pain free and will forever be young and rest with beauty in Heaven and fly with the best Angels around. She is your best Angel!
To: Nanny (Pat), Tammy and Brian and Ferris SR and JR, Dustin and Brandon and everyone else. I am very sorry for the loss of Teresa, I pray for comfort and strength for all of you. May God Bless you all and wrap his arms around you all at this painful time. With love and hugs and my deepest sympathy, Shannon Bass
I am at a loss for words. Teresa would be laughing at that, since like her I love to talk. Please know how much she was and is loved and how much she will be missed. Heaven has a beautiful, smart, funny new angel.
