My condolences goes out to the Cruz family. Teresa Cruz may have been a person full of life and happiness with a lot of live to share. At this trying Time, God can give you comefort (2 Corinthains 1:3 & 4). Keep praying to him and hell heal all wounds because God knows when we suffer (Zechariah 2:8). May God bless the family.

My beloved Aunt Teresa,

I'll never forget all the times you would take Vanessa and I to the movies, the mall, to eat, when we were kids. I'd spend the night with you and Vanessa, I wasn't used to being away from my grandmother so I'd cry at night, you would take me to bed with you and hold me until I'd fall asleep =) I remember Christmas Eve at Aunt Mary's right after you became ill, you had a horrible panic attack, you knew I had suffered from panic attacks and anxiety disorder when I was small but learned to control them. You asked my mom to have me come upstairs and be with you, I did just that. I was able to get you out of bed to walk around the neighborhood because I knew the fresh air would help. You and I walked around the neighborhood and talked for a couple of hours. I'll never forget that day, after that you would call me when you needed help getting through one of your panic attacks. You and Landyn shared a birthday and he never forgets =) I regret not seeing you more often but I know you and I shared a special bond. I love you Aunt Teresa and I will miss you dearly!!!!! Thank you for all the memories and for being the epitome of a perfect mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
