My beautiful little girl, Teresa, the light of my life...she was lovely and bright and beautiful. She left us too soon. Teresa made me a better person and I only wish she had known how many lives she'd touched and how many people loved her. She loved the outdoors, she loved to hike, and bike, and walk and run. She loved music, oh how she loved music. And books...she read everything! Not my words, but this is how I feel every day: I wish I had hugged you just a little bit tighter that day. I didn't realize it was my last chance to hold you close, to feel your warmth, and to let you know how much you truly meant to me. If only I had known, I would never have let you go. I'm struggling with my grief right now, over losing this most special person...so I'm having a hard time saying all the right things. If you knew Teresa, I hope you will find the right words to share and help those of us who love her know how much others loved her too. Please add your memories of her and any pictures you have of her to this site, it will be of great comfort to her family and friends. I'll love you Teresa, forever and ever with every breath I take. Love, Mom
