I know that Teresa was loved dearly and will be missed by all who knew her. I know she was a wonderful wife and friend and our love goes out to you Warren. Please know we will be there in spirit with you tomorrow and will keep Teresa in our heart and in our prayers of remembrance. We love you very much...

Warren,
May heart is with you in the feelings you have at this time. I worked with Teresa for 15 years while she was here at Public Safety. I will always remember her pleasantly. She was a very intelligent person with a very kind human side to her. I always looked up to you two, and the way you treated people, as reasons why it was a pleasure to go to work. In the sorrow I have at this time, I am grateful that I have and will always have the memory of having worked with her.
