Condolence: Here it is December 15, 2018 and I am just so sad to find out about the passing of this precious and beautiful friend. Teresa and I were young girls in our early 20's when we met. We worked together at Pizza Hut, in Wichita Falls, TX. We became best friends. I held her heart and her hands when her precious son, Garron passed. I witnessed her falling in love with Tee...oh the stories I could tell! I love reading the condolences...thru them I smile and cry. Teresa always dressed classy and was very particular about everything being in place, including her hair. I was a seamstress, back in the day...and she would let me create outfits for her. She loved them. I believe she was wearing one of them when she caught Tee's eyes. It was love at first sight! Aaron and Darron were/are her pride and joy! She beamed from the moment she know she was carrying them. They were the cutest little guys! I would babysit them and it was just so cute as they both stared at me, nearly the entire time I watched them. Sweetest little boys who grew up to be amazing young men. Teresa and Tee saw to that! I'm just so sad right now. I had no idea that she passed and from cancer. I want to go visit her sweet Mama, Miss Lilly B and just hug her. What a precious woman Miss Lilly B is...I haven't seen her in years. I will go visit her soon! Goodness... the memories of our friendship are just pouring out from my Soul. We had such great times together... makes me smile and cry. Ohhhh…. the stories I could tell.


I love you, Teresa Gail... and yes! I saw that shooting star you sent me tonight! It was grand, it was shine, it was spectacular... just like you

Condolence: T was like a ray of fresh sunshine. She was always dressed for success. She loved life and her family. She would often talk fondly of her twins. I knew her from KNI and I would see her a the St. Francis Cancer Center. She would always wear a smile, was kind and loving. She had a positive attitude even when times were tough. She took such good care of the KNI folks. She always would greet me with a warm hug and tell me she was glad to see me. I will miss you T. RIP my friend.

Condolence: I worked with T at KNI for 21 years. I wasn't sure how to take her forward personality at first, but once I got to know her...she became a friend. T reminded me of the importance of speaking up and standing up. I will also never forget her sense of style. She was always sharp dressed! She even made sweat pants look fashionable! Go girl!
I was able to meet her sons last summer while they were here for a visit. She beamed with pride while introducing them and every time she spoke of her family. You are all blessed to have had her. She will definitely be missed by many!
Peace and prayers to T's family and friends!
