I went to High School with Teresa. She was always friendly, bubbly and had a great sense of humor. Whenever she saw me around the village she always said hello. Teresa was a special sweet person. My sympathy to her family. May they feel the support and love of many people.

Teresa will be remembered by us for her copious warmth and humor. It was a blessing to grow up with so many family members all on the same street and the little house by the school entrance was always warm and loving. Teresa surely will be missed but forever remembered with the smile she always gave us.

Teresa was a very special lady, she had all the best characteristics of her mother and father who were very special people also. She always had a smile from infancy thru adulthood. She dearly loved her family and I know you all have so many wonderful memories that will help you through the future years. My sincere sympathy, prayers being offered.

We we’re so sorry to hear of Teresa‘s passing. She has been steadfast in our community, and the best neighbor you could ever have.. She was a very good friend of my older sister(Who passed several years ago) She often came over to our house and Teresa and my sister, Wendy, Convinced me they could pierce my ears with ice,a bar soap, and a needle! Let’s just say it wasn’t a lot of fun! The Tripp family has been in that house for as long as I’ve been alive, 63 years and of course before that. You could always count on Teresa if you needed something or help. Even if it was a cup of sugar to finish a recipe. They always left their front porch light on at night. Looking out my bedroom window It is kind of soothing to see that someone was always home. .Josanne, I too know the pain and heartache of losing a big sister, we will miss them forever. The Shraeder family

Cousin Teresa was an angel on this earth. My Mom has shared the sisterhood she, Josie and Teresa shared growing up in Honeoye. Our hearts are broken.

I'm trying to find all the right words to say but I'm having trouble choking back the tears when I think of what to say! I have so many fond memories that I cherish growing up next to my cousin Teresa and I can't list them all! I'm so honored and so blessed to have known this beautiful soul all my life. It's so hard to wrap my head around that she's really gone! But I know she'll always be with us and will never leave our side! To Michael, Mike & Julianne and Josanne, Lenny and Michael and her grandson Mike. And the rest of her immediate family! My thoughts and prayers go out to you all! Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences always! Sending my love and big hugs to you all! Heaven just gained a beautiful Angel and she'll be missed by all who knew and loved her! I know my sister was there to greet her and her mom and dad along with all her family and friends! Rest easy cuz and fly high and soar free! I'll miss you terribly! Love always and forever, from Dar

It seems so long ago when our sons were in their teens. We shared stories as mothers of (not so easy) boys growing into men. All I see was so much love and determination and a great sense of humor. What a wonderful legacy

Teresa was one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever known. Her love and heart knew no limits sharing both with everyone she knew. Teresa loved life and grabbed onto it with both hands. It was evident in everything she did. Her family meant the world to her. Love to Mike, Julie and Michael. Ellen Hallahan
