I am so sad to hear of Teresa dying. We were good friends in high school. I had not seen her in years, but remember her well. Good bye my friend. Rest in peace. My sincere secondments to Teresa’s family.
Sorry for your loss.praying for you.
What a sweet-looking lady.
Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Teresa and I worked together as case managers at Mission. In her later years of employment, I was her manager and got to know her very well. She was a lovely example of God\’s grace and kindness.
She showed great caring and concern for her patients and was beloved by her work colleagues. No one could problem solve like Teresa! She loved the challenges of case management and was an absolute joy to work with!
I know your hearts are saddened by the loss, but remember her strength and courage. She battled her disease for a long time. I know her heart will always be with her girls, but I also know her soul and body are at peace and rest. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers, Jenny Arledge RN
