I am beyond shocked about hearing the news about her passing. I only knew Theresa because I was one of the vendors for her son's wedding. But I could already tell she was a wonderful person just from that one day. I remember she was always smiling and asking for photos with her family on that day. But what really cemented the fact that she was a genuinely, wonderful person when she messaged me personally on facebook thanking me for the photos. It hits differently when the parents hit you up. And then when she found out that we were moving out-of-state she didn't hesitate to offer help. Who does that to a stranger? Or someone who she just met for that one day? Although our interactions were limited to just that one meeting at the wedding and the messages from facebook or liking posts on fb, sometimes those simple interactions leave a lasting impression. Man, this is sad. My thoughts and prayers to her whole family. 🙏🙏

I’m sorry I missed your day ❤️ but I will say you are a magnificent addition to my guardians and guides. And today, and the divine Angel of Honor, I will try to model after you unapologetic joy. I miss you already. Until next time, TRS❣️

I was shocked to hear the news regarding Theresa! I learned so much from her working at Bella Capri and Suites, she was a great leader and role model to look up to while there. She was always ready to help and never hesitated to offer on landing hand. I'll never forget the time that I spent with her and the great times that we did have. May Theresa rest in peace.

Theresa - it’s still absolutely surreal to know that you’re really gone. I am so very grateful that I got to know you and that our friendship could last over many years. You and Keith were always so sweet to me and my family and I will always have the memories of the fun times we’ve spent together in Miami, Thousand Oaks, Vegas, and NYC. I will always appreciate our shared love of travel and food, and will remember your jokes about chanclas and hoopties. I know how excited you were to meet your first granddaughter and I am heartbroken that you won’t have that chance. I hope you rest easy and have found peace. 

My sincere condolences to the Coleman, Simmons, and Ruano families - sending love and prayers for healing 🕊️💔

Our hearts and prayers are with you. So thankful we have the hope of heaven. May God’s love, angels, and peace surround you. Sending you love and hugs, 
Your West Virginia Family,

Theresa had always enjoyed attending community events. This particular one was at the Camarillo Commemorative Airforce Museum. From all of us at the Bella Capri Inn and Suites, the Old Town Cafe, and of course my parents, we are incredibly sorry to hear about Theresa's passing and hope she rests in peace.

The heart is never ready, the time is never right to say goodbye.

Theresa was a remarkable woman whose radiant presence brightened every room she entered. Her warmth, kindness, and generosity inspired countless lives, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.

Theresa had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel welcome, valued, and loved earned her a special place in the lives of  friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. Her kind words, gentle spirit, and infectious smile could disarm even the toughest of hearts.

As we mourn the loss of this incredible woman, we take comfort in the memories of her love, laughter, and unwavering kindness. Theresa, your light may have dimmed, but its brilliance will continue to inspire and guide us. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on through the countless lives you touched.

Rest in peace, dear Theresa. Your love and light will never be forgotten.

My deepest condolences of pure love and support go out to all the Simmons and Ruano family. Especially my dear friend Ron, Teresa was his sister. He spoke so much about her to me through the years, how funny she was and how she was the life of the party at all gatherings. And how he couldn’t wait for me to meet her. I share in empathy, as I lost my only  sister, my best friend whom I lived with for over a decade in our adult life. We were inseparable! Two peas in a pod everywhere we went daily. I took care of her as an older brother would, even though I was the baby of the family, I was her protector and she loved me so much. Love of a sister is like that mother. When that kind of love is taken away. You have to only look to GOD and all his signs for strength! I would have never seen light again, until I let my heart truly trust in him. I saw her name endlessly to this day, everyday, multiple times a day, back to back! Ron you know this as we saw workers at Costco recently that we asked for help and they all were named Sam! Not a coincidence. And the day you told me Teresa left this realm, I saw a doll pop up randomly for sale in my phone, that looked just like Teresa, named: Teresa! It’s A message from God! Although it’s an unbearable pain I know well and wish it wasn’t so; death is a natural part of life; we don’t like it, many loath it and fear it.. Though if we look at natural, painful parts of life differently, we may learn to find a bigger meaning in all of this experience on earth 🌎 . We will miss our loved ones immensely, though once you understand the process, Teresa has now skipped the line, she’s on to the great beyond, to beauty, to light, to sheer happiness with God. I can assure you Heaven does exist, and Teresa and my sister Samantha are up there together now. Waiting for us to be with them one day, when it’s time. Bless you all and I will be there for support, just trust the process and find peace.

We had so much fun together! Columbus Tustin Jr High days!! Always a party when we were together!❤️

We had so much fun together! I’ll always remember her friendship!

My sincere condolences to the Theresa Simmons family members. It's a difficult time especially this time of the season and the almost the new arrival of Theresa's granddaughter soon to be born. I remembered at the wedding she wishing for a granddaughter.  Life can take many turns and you never know where it will take you. One thing I do know, that there is a God and he loves his children. He has given us instructions in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible on how to live a wholesome healthy life. Fruits, vegetables and nuts a plant based diet for a long healthy life. The enemy, Satan has diverted us away from those instructions of a healthy vegan diet and introduced all kinds of harmful drinks or beverages and uncleaned flesh foods.  God is a forgiving God and no matter what the situation I'm sure he has Theresa resting in His arms. Christ when he turns the 2nd time, the Graves will be open and the righteous will live again, never to part from lovef ones  With this being said, be faithful to our living loving Saviour,  honor him.  Christ understands and wants to save you, me and all who come to him.  May God bless and keep each member of the bereaved family.  Joan Marie Parham

My heart goes out to all of you. Theresa was so accepting of me and my family when we first met all of you. We had so much fun that first night, taking all kinds of crazy pictures even getting grandpa involved. It was so much fun. I’ll never forget that. Keith, it was awesome seeing you and Theresa. I’m so glad that you were able to come up and visit us and see Isabella.  May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your heart and mind.…Philippians 4:7.

My deepest condolences to the family.   Theresa’s sweetness and kindness will truly be missed.   May she rest in peace.  🙏🏼
