Teresa was such a wonderful lady. We loved spending time with her. She will be missed. Extending prayers to her family.
“Auntie Teresa” was an integral and influential part of my childhood. Always fun and caring, She would let me out of time out early on the rare occasion I was in trouble, bandage wounds when I would regularly cut, burn and scrape myself, and and let me eat unlimited amounts of pinwheels and olives. Such a sweet soul. Much love to Blake and the entire Lewis family. The spirit of your mother, sister, aunt lives on.
Going to the lake or river with the Lynn’s are some of the best memories of my childhood. This is in large part thanks to the fact that Teresa was so sweet, thoughtful, and such a joy to be around. I want to extend my condolences to Blake, the Lewis family, the Lynn family, and all of Teresa’s loved ones. I’m sorry for your loss, you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
