We will miss our Theresa here at the Saab. She was a spunky little lady & we had lots of laughs. Will never forget the love of tea that we shared. RIP my friend
Dear Theresa You Will Be Missed. How could I ever start to tell you how much you were loved. My mother (Rita Fall) loved you as her best friend all her life. My children (Ahmed, Syed, Sharif & Anwar) always thought of you as their grandmother and their love for you is deep. You took such good care of my boys for so many years…I never had to worry when you were minding them. You were the most reliable, caring and sweet person, they always couldn’t wait to see you. You always had a smile, a funny story and you were one of a kind. (A VERY SPECIAL PERSON). Thank you for being a special part of my life and my family’s life. Knowing you made all of us better people. You will ALWAYS hold a special place in our hearts. Love you so much…Kathy, Ali, Ahmed, Syed, Sharif & Anwar
