Theresa was in the class the year before me, but i knew her in school. She was always friendly and sweet. In later years I worked for a company that assisted people with various needs and Theresa just happened to be a client, when we saw each other it was like old home week. We talked and laughed about school and friends we both knew. I did that for a few months, it was great. But as life does, I changed jobs and we drifted apart. I would see her from time to time downtown at a restaurant or the park with Mina. She will be remembered fondly by many. RIP

I remember the day I met Theresa, it was almost to the day yrs ago in November. I walked into her apartment and I just knew we would become quick friends. Same style, taste in Music, Art, Books, same belief systems with Spirituality, politics, which was really great. But the things that made Theresa special was, her humanity, her raw and authentic truths, her being unapologetically herself, her ability to meet people where they were at, with a listening ear, some solid advice, (wanted or not lol) her kindness. She had a way of making you feel safe and loved in her presence. Even on rough days she had a smile, she taught me to look for the little things, that bring joy, the silver linings in life, and if all else fails, grab a good book, or get lost in a record. She was strong, she was gracious, she was passionate, she loved openly and had a friendly wave and smile for everybody, she adored my children and they adored her to, they loved borrowing all the Stephen Kings from Library Theresa and she found joy in sharing her books and follow up conversations, everybody had their own little connection to her. Thank you my friend for filling countless days with joy, for allowing me to be myself, and for becoming one of my dearest friends, we will miss you dearly,
All my love, -Alyssa and Kyle Jacobs,

Very sorry to hear of Theresa's passing. She was my classmate at MHS, class of 1985. She always had a smile on her face and was truly a genuine person. May she rest in peace.

in honor of Mary.

Here’s a memory you might enjoy from cousins.

Theresa wanted to go to the beach. Julie and I took her to Hoffmaster. Getting down to the beach was quite the feat with the wheel chair. We grunted and groaned and laughed. We got to the sand and decided to carry her. We got as close as we could to the water but couldn’t bear the weight and dropped her in the sand. We brought handfuls of water and through it on her. We laughed and laughed. When we realized we had to carry her back up to the deck we cringed and laughed again!

Give our love and hugs to you and your siblings as you mourn the loss of one special lady.

"Theresa" was a young Lady of courage when she and I were together, teacher and student. My memories will always be of her strength and courage.
