I was so sorry to hear. Thru the years, everytime I saw Teresa or Tammy ... It brought back great memories of my first job at 13 at creekside. 20 years later, I credited Teresa for being an amazing role model to me. Even in me owning my own businesses. You will always have a spot in my heart!

I am so very sorry to learn of Teresa’s passing. I offer my condolences to Tammy and the family. Teresa was such an energetic and warm-hearted woman who helped me through the most difficult process of my life. When my mother died she helped me refurbish and sell several properties to settle Mom’s estate and she absolutely did everything she could to make it as painless as possible for me. She was a little powerhouse of a gal and her passing is just heartbreaking. You are awesome Teresa and I will always remember you. Rest In Peace.
