It has been a pleasure to have worked by Theresa’s side as part of the “weekend crew ” Our rides home may have only been five minutes long but will last me a life time. Being a mother of two, her stories of you all made me laugh and gave me hope that when the twins get older they would stop fighting and love one another as you all do. She kept me in line, let me cry when I had to and picked up the slack for me once when I stayed out too late the night before. “Come On Cindy Lou” will forever ring in my mind.
She is a great women, one of a kind, and will be missed by all.
