I was so sad to hear of her passing and didn’t even hear about it until April 2023.  She was a good family friend and we were associated with her through our brother Chris who passed away in May of last year (2023).

Happy Birthday sweet face...You are always beloved

Teresa was my first Godchild and was my flower girl in our wedding, she was very, very loved by us.  We miss her  everyday.  When you see a butterfly think of Teresa.. Say a prayer:  A few days after Teresa passed away I was sitting in a car with the door and window down and telling my friend who was in different car (because of covid) about Teresa and a butterfly came in the car and sat on my chest.   My friend said to me "That's Teresa" saying she is ok.     

We loved her.  Auntie and Uncle

I wish I had a photo of Teresa!  But I don't. Just vivid memories in my mind of this beautiful blond-haired shapely beauty who found her way to my yoga class some 24 years ago when I was a new yoga instructor. She came to my classes regularly with her friend Mary. She loved her yoga practice! Over the years, she gifted me many CDs with meditative music for yoga. She protected me fiercely against the sometimes aggressive, demanding, or even perverted people who showed up to my classes when I was a young inexperienced yoga instructor. I admired her greatly.  She grew up with sisters, lots of them. She was one of the few people I know who had more sisters than I do.  Like a secret code between us, we shared that deep love for our sisters. I knew she was battling cancer and I knew she would put out the feistiest of fights. I will miss her great sense of humor and the  "T Mama" ferocious love she put out to those of us lucky enough to know her.  Rest in Peace, dear Teresa.  With much love and admiration, Fran Gallo
