We live next door to Wes and Teresa. Teresa was a sweet, funny & devoted wife and mother. She gave us info on fun places to visit in California and shared the fruits of their labor from their garden. We both had a fondness for the wonderfully aromatic & pretty Lilac tree that is between our driveways. Whenever I see them in bloom from now on, I will always think of Teresa! Praying for the family and friends she left behindâ¦..

Teresa and I played hooky from work at Pru and enjoyed a few Giants games together at Candlestick. People often thought we were sisters, the two redheads asking for autographs together. One time Darryl Strawberry was walking into the clubhouse and the kids were all yelling for him to sign, but Teresa called him "Mr. Strawberry" and asked him to sign a ball. He didn't say a word, just walked up to the two of us, signed our baseballs, and walked into the clubhouse without acknowledging anyone else. He knew class when he saw it! Teresa, you have been a good friend and colleague and will be missed by many. All good thoughts and prayers to the family.

Today is World Cancer Day and I've lost my mother to Breast Cancer on December 3rd. It's still hard to believe she's gone, even though it's almost 4 years; everything in my life changed the moment she passed away on that morning. My heart still aches and I'm still in pain from her passing but there aren't enough words to describe how an amazing, wonderful, kind and devoted woman she is. She has the beautiful smile and she's been my role model throughout my childhood, even though I was a bit of a crybaby in my teenage years. When you come to my mother's house, it's always full of warmth and joy, for she always had a joyous, welcoming personality to all who visit her and her family. Especially on holidays, there's always something about my mother that made the household like a family gathering, no matter if it's a relative from another state or if it's a stranger from across the street. As of now, she may be gone but the memory of her is alive in my heart and our lives. She was the best mother I've been blessed with and I miss her so much. Cancer is a deadly, very ugly thing and it must be crushed to death - she was brought back home to God far too early. Thank you for everything, Mom, and may you rest in peace. Thank you for being a blessing in my life.

An Angel whispered take my hand and come with me you're work here is done. I went away to a place where there's no tears, nor sorrow only laughter and smiles, there will always be a Tomorrow. As I move amongst the clouds. I'll look down and smile upon you, while the angels sing a heavenly song. I am not alone all who went before are here they awaited my return. I know you'll grieve and wish I was still here I am here in the memories you hold dear. Remember how much I love you and know I took your love with me. I did not wish for you to cry, nor feel sad. My pain is gone and I am Free! Soon you'll come to me until then God will be with you Just as He's with me.

Joy Travis

My legal name is Theresa Joy....I met Teresa at work where she also met my brother. After she fell in love with my brother and married him, we not only had similar first names but also the same last name (which created some headaches for our company's payroll department!) We always giggled about our common name and called each other "H" (me) and "No H" (Teresa.) We used our nicknames when sending each other emails and text messages. We even signed our gift tags on Christmas presents that way. I have been blessed all my life with the best brother in the universe, and I have been blessed for the past dozen years or so with the best sister, too. "No H" - we will do our very best to take care of Wes and your adorable children. Missing you every minute and holding you close in my heart. "H"
