My heartfelt condolences goes out to my twin cousin whom I had fond memories of growing up. I met her again in the 80s when she was with her daughter Laura and her boyfriend Matt. We were having such great time at Redondo Beach. Her and I had a lot in common. We were the twin that was reserved, while our perspective twins was a complete opposite. I will miss her since that I will miss her sister Maria her other twin, and may they both have a great time in heaven rest in peace my fellow cousin twins. Love your cousin Ben.

Nov 14th 2024, God orchestrated an “accidental” call from Theresa to me. We then spent 46 minutes joyfully catching up like old friends! She shared many personal events but was so passionate in sharing about her support & work with RUHU. Looking back now, I sense she was solidifying her heart of gratitude & cherished times working with God. What a woman of God she was & continues to be! I am confident in God’s word - He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Theresa now beholds rewards neither herself or we could have imagined. She is greatly missed here on earth but her impact continues to ripple with great purposes. Oh how I rejoice in the unimaginable rewards her Heavenly Father now lavishes upon her!

To my cousin Theresa say hello to your twin sister Maria for me and others in heaven. 

Love you ,
your cousin Frank

Official service is from 2:30-3:30, however the chapel will be open from 12-2:30 for those who can’t make it to the service, want to spend time writing a memory of her for the family, or would be more comfortable coming in a less populated/formal atmosphere.

Theresa was such an amazing, talented and gracious woman.  I admired her amazing work ethic and the knowledge she had of the ODOT CAR Unit operations and history.  She strived for high quality work and put in so many extra hours of personal time to get jobs/reports done timely and have them be a quality product.  I was surprised and amazed to discover from her that she had mostly self-taught all the IT and software knowledge she was such a whiz at. We all relied on her knowledge, experience and expertise.  Theresa was a great encourager and patient with co-workers as they were learning and asking questions.  I greatly appreciated her answering my many questions.  She also was encouraging as she was teaching me how to draw and label intersection diagrams.
I also admired her strong faith and confidence in what God wanted for her.  She had many difficult struggles and events in her life but yet she always carried a positive attitude and outlook.  She gave much of herself to help others such as helping feed the local homeless to her major investment in the orphanage and school Patrick was establishing and running in Africa.  Even during all her illnesses and cancer treatments Theresa was strong in her faith and belief in the goodness of her Lord.
Some of my fun personal memories of Theresa was the excitement and fun she had taking ballroom dance lessons before her daughter’s wedding.  It was to be a surprise for her daughter when she would dance gracefully at the wedding.  We also talked during our lunches together how she admired my kayaking and wanted to try it once she got her body stronger and in shape.  Unfortunately we never got that kayak trip done.  We enjoyed some cribbage playing times; even playing via Zoom during Covid days.  Theresa was an excellent cribbage player and would always beat the pants off of me!  But we’d have fun and she encouraged me with tips to improve my game.
I will miss Theresa and feel honored to have known her and call her a friend.

May Theresa’s memory be a blessing to all who knew her, especially her family.  May she also be reunited with Maria in God’s eternal and everlasting care.
