Therese was the most generous woman I knew. She was always there to lend a hand to help out when needed. She loved each and everyone of her beautiful children from the moon and back and cherished any given time she could be there for them.  She was so even keeled and always a pleasure to talk to.  She always made me laugh. Even after everything she was going through, she had heard my husband was having surgery and just wanted to touch base to let me know she was thinking of him and his recovery.  Truly a gem and I am blessed to have been in her company. I think of her often and she is missed. May she continue to watch over her children and see all of their accomplishments in life!

Such a sweet and caring  woman. Therese always had love in her heart and will always be missed. God bless 

Therese bought me this beautiful plague 38 years ago and I wanted to share with everyone:
A Special Friend 
What made us friends in the long ago when we first met?
Well I think I know! The best in me and the best in you Hailed each other because they knew That always and always since life began Our being friends was part of God's plan.

So my dear friend the best of me will always carry the best of you until we meet again! Rest in peace!!
To everyone who had the honor of crossing paths with Therese carry her with you and she will live forever. 

Therese was a kind, selfless, and hilarious woman. There are not enough words to describe the wonderful impact this woman had on my family. Through the best times and the worst times, Therese was always there for my sisters, my parents, and me. Thank you for always offering us advice, cracking jokes with us, and being someone so many people could depend on. Rest in peace Therese- you will never be forgotten. 

Therese was amazing the times we talked and I got to see her. She was so nice and sweet! As my mom mentioned above my fondest memory of her is when her and Jerry came to New Mexico. She did the best Donald Duck impression and as a kid that was 5 years old loved every second! She was so funny and made me smile everytime I saw her. We will miss you Therese and always will be thinking of you!!!!!

I am so sorry for all you and your family has had to walk through.  I pray the Lord will show Himself strong in everything and comfort your family in the days ahead.  My prayers are with all of you!  
Blessings,
Marcella O'Hanlon

I live in New Mexico, ( I’m a distant cousin) & one of my earliest memories of Therese before she had children of her own. Jerry and  Reese came to our house for dinner (at that time I had 2 boys) I remember her smile, her laugh, her nurturing ways with my boys, and how she interacted with them. My son Derrick remembers her awesome Donald Duck impersonation and her spirit for life. Talking with her and Jerry I knew they wanted a large family & they were blessed with five. I remember the families visits at my brothers wedding and the good times we shared, her love for adventure. I also remember when we visited NY and how giving and welcoming she was to me and my three kids. 
Therese is an amazing women and now one of God’s Angels. She will be  missed immensely, and thought of, often. My prayers are with Jerry, Christina, Gerard, Joseph, Matthew and all the extended family. Terese touched many lives.

My condolences to the Gigante and Moran families. My siblings and I grew up with Terese ‘Reese’ and her siblings. Such wonderful people, Reese especially. 
I wish there were words to comfort you during this devastating time. She was amazing, the wife & mother she was is evidence of her joyful and nurturing spirit. Her heart lives on in her beautiful children who will bring comfort to their dear father. She is free from pain and at peace and with Our Heavenly Father. 
You’re in my thoughts & prayers, 
Maria Muino Tomon 

Many years ago when I lost my own beautiful sister to cancer Terese sat with me and held my hand in the midst of a crowded funeral home . Her kind words and the touch of her hand in mine helped me get through one of the most terrible days of my life . 
Terese was kind and thoughtful and I will always hold that moment in my heart ❤️. God bless her and her beautiful family . May she RIP in the presence of God .
