“Tressa” was a delight to know. I knew her through St. Rita’s. She had a lovely voice and could instinctively sing harmony. She always told me that was what she “heard”. She was always ready with a smile and a helping hand. I got a card from her every Valentine’s Day with three dollars in it…..one for birthday, one for anniversary and one for Valentine’s Day. She never forgot. Theresa was a joy and will be greatly missed. She will not be forgotten. I know she is singing her heart out in Heaven.

We were on the Northwest flight to Escanaba on January 14th and we talked about your trip to Trenary and you Mom’s illness. I was sorry to read in the Daily Press of your Mom’s passing away. Please accept my sympathy and best wishes to you and your family.

I remember Theresa as always being kind. She was truly a lady in every way. She spoke softly to and carefully of others and always dressed well. She will be missed.
