In memory of my dear ex sister-in-law of almost 50 years. She was not just an ex sister-in-law.. but a dear friend who we shared many good and hard times together. I considered Theresa a member of our family, even though she had not been married to my brother for many years. She shared in all family functions. She moved away from the Houston area over 10 years ago.. due to illness.. but we kept in close touch with each other monthly. She was my brides maid in my wedding in 1974. Oh, so many fond memories of Theresa. She endured so many fights with cancer and won all the battles.. only to seccumb to another illness.... but now at peace.. she will be missed by all that really knew and loved her.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jerry, who became her care taker after she left Houston.
