    Sending my deepest sympathy and kindest thoughts to Theresa’s family. Theresa and I have enjoyed a decades long friendship, which often meant we visited for half an hour in the grocery store when were both out shopping. This was the only time we saw each other over the years. She was such a lovely lady. Kindest regards to everyone. MaryJo Schroeder (Coveney)

    So sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of visits with your Mom and Dad during my time on Cape Croker and when I was able to stop in on my travels through. May all your memories give you peace in this time of grief.

    I am sorry to hear of the loss of Aunty Theresa. We had some good visits over the years. She once surprised me by showing me a scrapbook with newspaper articles about me that she had gathered. Condolences to Marilyn and Mark
