What can I say that everyone already knows about my mother Teresa Masters. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and my very best friend. She had the most radiant smile I had ever seen, and she had a way to bring out the best in me and would make me feel good and see the positive in a situation. She was the strength and the ROCK of our family. She is the kind of woman I want to become, very loving,funny, devoted, firm, gentle, and I can go on forever. I am so glad I had the pleasure of being her daughter and her being my mother. She left me with a lot of her qualities that I thank her for teaching me. I will have memories that I will think of for the rest of my life. I will miss the jokes we shared, the oh so many crazy things we did together and all the dancing we did around the house, and the one memory that is so dear to me is mud sliding we did on the side of the house and would get out there and have so much fun with my Dad, brother and me. This woman was and is the best friend I will ever have as well as my Dad. She will never be forgotten and missed dearly by everyone, especially my 2 babies. Mom I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and I want to thank you for loving me and teaching me about what it is to be a loving woman and mother. You will be missed by everyone and especially Mikey and Mackenzie. You are our special Angel. Love Your Daughter and Grandbabies, Kim,Mikey,Mackenzie Masters Feb.16 2006 Mikey loves and misses his best friend and his Granny.

I first want to say the last 34 years (32 married) have been the absolute happiest years of my life. This WONDERFUL LADY gave me love and happiness, taught me how to love and to give it back. She introduced me to her loving family who made me feel welcomed and showed me how a family really was about. How can you thank someone like that. Two of the best things Teresa ever gave me were 2 great children who are in perfect health and are a great enjoyment, which went on to give me 7 terrific grandchildren who are in perfect health. Teresa loved her grandchildren dearly and she was so full of Love that she had plenty of for everyone that knew her. When I started to have back problems she never stopped giving of herself to me. I am so grateful for the time that I had to spend with her.I LOVE YOU BABY. I WILL MISS YOU FOREVER and I can say the Lord knows what a special ANGEL that she is.

And thanks for all the help and support of friends and family getting through this. And a very big thank you Timmy and Vicky.

To the Whitmore family,words are not enough to express what a beautiful and caring person Tersea was.You must be very proud of her. It is tough to say goodbye to a true Southern Belle who always portrayed a magical and positive atmosphere where ever she was. She was an original that will never be duplicated. God Bless you Teresa.

Teresa’s laugh was contagious; she had a smile for all she would meet.
