I have peace knowing Theresa is now with the people she held in her heart & soul, her family & friends in Heaven. She was always a welcoming & giving person to all she met. She was always giving of her time, especially to the Level Fire Dept., in so many ways. She was so devoted to caring for her husband, Don, in his last year's. I was so blessed to witness that. She surpassed anyone I know when it came to decorating & celebrating the holidays, especially Christmas! She was an incredible person of many talents. The one thing I'll remember the most, you always knew you were a cherished friend, when you were around her. I'll see you soon, Theresa, and I'll miss you dearly.

RIP Mrs. C! The Hopewell Road Crew and I spent many summer days at your house playing cards, swimming, tanning, riding bikes, throwing yard sales, borrowing ice skates and just hanging out. You and Mr. C always made time to watch us play "teacher" in your basement and put on a talent show! I'll always remember your patience and talent in sewing, baking, and teaching me to crochet. I especially remember your pink cake with frosting, and trips to the Bel Air library. Your friendly face will shine on in my memory. Sharon, Janice and Randy, you have my condolences.
