She held a very special place in her heart for the suffering, especially the homeless and at-risk-youth. Teresa had wisdom beyond her years and knew how to use her sense of humor, artistry, and talents to uplift others. Her angelic voice was soothing and healing to friends and family in times of pain. Teresa's beauty and smile was breath-taking to behold and she touched all who met her. Teresa's passing will leave a void in our hearts of immeasurable size. May the love memories and she has given us live in our hearts and bring comfort to the void until we meet again. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Covenant House, www.covenanthouse.org in her memory would be appreciated.
