Teresa was the best person in my life.  She was my mother.  Not only was she a wonderful mother, but she was a great friend as well.  She is truly missed by her friends, and most of all, her family. 

My mom grew up the oldest of seven children.  She enjoyed softball, bowling, garage sale shopping, and doing home daycare.  She was our softball coach, girl scout troop leader, and our best friend.

She lived the 39 years of her life doing the best she could, and did a wonderful job being a mom.  I only hope that I turn out to be half the person she was.  She passed on December 8, 1998 after a long nine year battle with breast cancer.  We miss you Mom!!!!!!
