Teresa was a wonderful person. She was the third born of four girls. Her children were always the
greatest joy in her life. She was always ready to help out a person in need, whether she knew them
or not. Unfortunately she became quite ill and couldn't cope with life and it's demanding pressures.
She felt the only way out was to take her own life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
I hope you found the peace you were searching for Terry, we all love you.
The memorial music being played for Teresa is "Face to Face With Jesus" and "Lord Have Mercy" from
the "Guys for God," Debut CD. You can check them out and purchase their music at www.guysforgod.net
i miss you so much
Hey Terry...
I miss you so much! you're missing so much here. C is growing up so fast, and boy is she beautiful!!! I was just working on some planning for the wedding today. Its exactly 6mo from tomorrow. I wish you could come. I love you
Well I have come to leave you a note only to never find the right things I want to say. Some days I am so angry for you leaving us so early. You were always there for me to just call & tell me you loved me. It was like you knew when I needed somebody to talk to or cry with. Other days I just miss your beautiful smile...it could fill a room when you flashed those pearly whites. Your laugh & sense of humor were a magnet..no wonder so many people loved you. Guess what, you saved a life today...someone noticed a tattoo I had done in your honor & asked what it represented. After she heard my story about the loss of someone so dear to me by suicide she said she couldn't bare to do that to her family. My tears for you really impacted her.I think about you everyday & always will. I love you Teresa...rest in peace my dear friend!!!
Hey auntie!!
i miss you so much!i don't understand why you left so suddenly!!i try to talk to my friends about it and they tell me to get over it.i cant get over it i dont know why people say that i will never get over this!!so i truly gave up on talking to people about this.i know my mom and family are here to talk but i dont want to talk to them i want to talk to a friend that understands wht i am going through and none of mine do!!well i should tell you that my friend took his life just like you did not to long ago and ever since then i cant go a day without thinking about you and him!i am tryin to stay positive about anything and everything but its not working!!the other day i was sitting in my room bored and i was like why dont i call you..but then i remembered i cant your gone!!so i am goin to try and talk to you more often through this.i dont know if you can read this or if you even care about what i think anymore.but i hope you can and i hope you do care...not to long ago I had a terrible day at school..it seemed like all of my friends were against me and I couldn’t stop thinking about you!!then the second to last class I had that day I just broke down and started balling.i felt so stupid.everybody was starring and asking what was wrong.and I looked at them and said why would you care you never do any other time.so I walked out of the class room and went and talked to my counselor and she helped me through everything!!I had a basketball game this night and I was thinking to myself I am going to leave everything I had on the court…and guess what I did and we won!!!I was so happy.but that night I went home and of course cried myself to sleep thinking about you!!!well I am goin to go!!I love you so much auntie!!!I miss you…..!
Who's To Blame? - by Christine RossWho's to blame for suicide?
The question often heard.
Someone always points a finger
And they say such hurtful words.
They never do consider that
It's caused from a disease.
Depression and Bipolar
Are just a few of these.
Some die from being murdered.
Some die from accidents.
Some die from pneumonia,
But none of it makes sense.
Sometimes body parts wear out
Way before their time.
Some lose the cancer battle,
But it all seems so unkind.
No matter how they leave us
It never is their choice.
There's something deep within them
That has a bigger voice.
So please refuse to take the blame
For the THING that took your friend.
Although others point their fingers.
They haven't walked your mile.
John Frank Joined You Today
Teresa, John left Patti and the boys and joined you in heaven today. Patti, John John and Joey need comfort and peace. This is so very hard. You took your own life eight months ago today. Mom died 20 years and 6 months ago today. And John leaves today so suddenly. Somethings just don't make any sense. I want to skip the 19th of every month from now on. I miss you so and I can't even imagine how Patti and her boys feel. I'm so angry at you for choosing to leave and I'm angry at GOD for taking mom and right now for taking John from his wife and boys. I'll never understand!
Missing you tremendously....
I am thankful I found this memorial site. The chance to share my feelings of loss and confusion is helpful. I know it won't bring Teresa back, but at least others will know you are not alone with how you are feeling. I have placed blame on myself, I think of Teresa all of the time, and I am so confused why this was the answer to her problem. I was not close enough to Teresa to know of her illness, and only wish there was more awareness and help for that situation. It is so unfair because she had SO MANY great qualities. She was fun, loving, creative, caring, just a wonderful person. Our last conversation ended on a bad note and for that I am so very sorry. If I had only known how she was suffering; if only.... My eyes now have also filled with tears. I am so sorry, Teresa, I only wish I could have been a better friend. God Bless you and your family.
Do you think?
Do you think that we are over it
Better than before
Maybe we've forgotten
Doesn't hurt us anymore?
Do you think that we are doing fine
No tears are shed each day
Get up and just get going
Pain has all but gone away?
Do you think that we are coping
Living life just as you do
If that's what you imagine...
You don't have a single clue
we cope, we cry, and we deny
We've learned how we must hide
Keep everything within us
Bottled up deep down inside
We can't be who we were before
We've changed We're someone new
It happens when you have a loss
You would be different too
We're so misunderstood each day
To tired to explain
Not over it, or better
Simply put... We're not the same.
And will never be because you left us. (author unknown)
Your Family
Why
I just dont understand why you did this. You thought the crap was bad with your illness. I sure hope you are watching what this is doing to the people who love you. Cierra is such a mess and Bugsy doesn't want to see any of it. You should have known after the way he stuck his head in the sand with you that he wouldn't be much better with Cierra. She is slowly dieing inside and he doesn't see it. He doesn't get the fact that sometimes as the parent you have to be the bad guy and make your children do what they say they don't want to, because you know in the long run that it is what is best for them. Please Terry if you are watching and seeing what is going on send Bugsy some kind of sign that he needs to help C....She is missing you something fearce and doesn't know where to turn. She thinks she is ok but deep inside she is slowly dieing. Terry you have to help them now...befor it is to late. We are all missing you and want you back but because of the choices you made we have to live with ourselves and try to forgive ourselves for not doing more. I want this pain to end.. I want it all to go away. Some days I ask myself why did I have to be her sister and try to pick up the pieces. Why do I have to always be the strong one. Why do I have to live with the fact that my sister wasnt strong enough to commit herself to getting better for her family. Why Terry, Why.... It breaks my heart everyday to see what C is going threw and what she is hidding from the rest of us. I know she isn't doing well but unfortunately her dad, the one that can really help her, is putting on the blinders. I don't think he realizes what can happen if he doesn't get her professional help. "And of course I dont know what Im talking about and I should pay more attention to my own children." You have really screwed things up this time. At least when you were here and not in your write mind we knew you would be back, now we have to live with the fact that you are gone forever and ever. Why Terry, Why????
The Mess You Left
You have left such a mess. You thought by killing yourself the stress and strain of dealing with your illness would end. If only that were true, Everybody you left behind is still suffering and even more intensely now because in one way or another we all think if we would have said this, or done that you'd still be here. You made this choice. It's really sad that we are the ones left to live with the consequences.
i miss you sooo much!!
well...i miss you and you probably already know that.but i wanted to make sure you did.i wish you never left me and others.but i guess thts wht you thought was the best way for you to get out of your misery.everynight i cry myslef to sleep..and i wake up cryin.but i change the frown to a smile and just think about the good times we have had together.i think about you nonstop.and nothin will change tht.i remember when you abd my mother would get in a argument over something stupid and then me and cierra would never talk.but when we started to talk again you two did.lol.well...i love you and miss you soooooooooo much!!!
