The strangest memory came to me this evening- the smell of your little ?Chevy I think when you use to babysit us in Tipton. I loved hanging out with you and was so proud of you when you became a police woman. I know you’re gone, but you’re still with me and I loved you and your family. Xoxo

Teresa, your memory lives on. We grew up together, laughed and played.
Then you became a true hero, a police officer.
Watching the processional of police cars in our home town, there was an unreal silence.
You will NEVER be forgotten.

TJ,
A generation of years has come and gone since you were taken from us. I often wonder what it is like on the other side and where you exist and what your spirit is doing. I hope you can look after those left behind and keep those who need watching safe and sound.
Miss you darling girl and love you so much!
