To Ray, sons Jay and Joe and the Roberts & Morrissey Family:. May the comfort of God help you all during this difficult time of loosing your wife, daughter, mom, grandmother my cousin Theresa. I am thinking about all of you during this difficult time. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel of the loss of Theresa. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you all bear, just know that you are all very close in every thought and prayer. You have my deepest sympathies on the death of your mother. Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains. My heart goes out to all your family in your time of sorrow. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why Theresa left this earth so soon, or why she left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, may we begin to remember not just that she died, but that she lived. And that her life gave us memories too beautiful to forget!! I will never forget my cousin Theresa and I have wonderful memories of her when I was young, she was more a sister to me than a cousin, from going to church camp together to playing too many board games and riding bikes to Dairy queen. Our childhood together was so much fun Theresa, me Sharon,and Melissa having slumber parties at great-grandmother bessy's home, summer swims at the pool and riding our bikes all over Parkfair and cooling off with Dairy queen with smiles, jokes and laughter all together. May the angels carry her to the heavens and may your hearts be comforted Amen. from cousin Sandy Gravitt-Falcon

I have many fond memories of playing with Theresea and my other cousins at great-grandma and grandad Phoenix's house. All of us had super-kid-fun together whether it was the 4th of July, Christmas Eve, or gathering to celebrate a family birthday. I'll always remember what a very sweet, loving and kind person Theresa was.
Our prayers are with all of the family as you deal with a great loss.
