Teresa so many memories of you are held close in my heart. I was surprised when I was informed of your passing. Condolences to your family rest easy. Lola Molina-Loredo
Teresa, you were more than a friend, you were like a sister. I’m still convinced I’ll see you again, but god takes the best ones. It’s hard to accept, but I’ll miss you always. This feels like a bad dream, waiting for it to be over. Had a blast with you, truly. I’ll never forget our times together. #Friendship #Memories
Teresa was always kind and had smile for anyone around. RIP sweet Lady.
