Marilyn and family, I was thinking of Theresa as she always stopped to see me and talk at the flea market.(wedding booth) . I had no idea that she had passed. She was a friend and you as well. I had to give my condolences as she will be missed.

To Aunt Jaycee and Family, to be absent in the body is presence with the Lord. Weeping may endured for a night but joy will come in the morning. Death leaves a headache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory that no one can steal. Implant them in your heart it will be their forever. Tootsie was a happy person,she was known for her beautiful smile. I remembered when we'll lived up North and the times we spent together. All the memories will always be remembered.Rest on Theresa take your rest we love you but God loves you best.

To the Higgins family, you have my thoughts and deepest sympathy in the loss of your precious love one. God simply sent down one of his whispering angels to retrieve one of his own. Be encouraged and hold on to God's unchanging hands. Just know that "Reese" is free from sickness and pain. Weeping may endure for a night but remember that joy cometh in the morning. Go ahead "Reese" take your rest. We loved you, but God loved you best. R.I.P. Gone but will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathy. I am so sad. I worked with Theresa for many years at J&J. Even though I haven't spoken to her recently, I always consider her as a friend. She truly will be missed.
RIP my friend.

To my Aunt Daisy and the rest of my family I speak encouragement during this time. Please know that earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal! I remember the moments we shared in her brief transfer with her company to Raleigh, NC in my final years of college. Tootsie as I remember her was always thoughtful and caring towards me her little cousin. R.I.P. Reese
