I am thankful to have known Auntie Theresa. When I think of Auntie Theresa I remember her in visual snapshots. I think of going to SF with my mom to visit her at her work, I think of plaid shorts, the VW bus, a wide smile and an easy laugh. She always had a calmness and sweetness about her that I liked. She was a special person and important. I will miss her.##imported-begin##Amy Schweng##imported-end##
I met Theresa and John in 1986, right after I got married. I was lucky enough to be part of their vanpool but as the months went by I was the only one left riding with them to San Francisco.The one thing that brought Theresa and I closer together happened on October 17, 1989 – yep, the Loma Prieta Earthquake. I will always remember that day and grateful that Theresa was there with me as we tried to leave San Francisco. I hadn’t seen Theresa in many years because I became a stay-at-home mom. Once in awhile I would see her going for her morning walks when I would go on mine. One of the topics that came up was about the earthquake and how we were sranded in the city for many hours. The last time I saw her was in June when I happened to have photos of my son’s senior pictures. I am so glad I was able to give her one of the photos so that she could see that he’s grown up.To John and the family, my condolescences to you. She was a wonderful person and I am fortunate to have known her.Mary##imported-begin##Mary Comer-Fong##imported-end##
I can’t believe she’s gone. She faced her last days with such courage and calmness. It was so characteristic of her. I wish I had that same quiet strength.##imported-begin##Susan Linton##imported-end##
I have too many memories to share and too many things that I’ll miss about her. What can I say? She was the perfect mother and human being. I knew she would always be there for me if I needed her. With her generous spirit and concern for others, it seemed like she was always helping others – including tenants, co-workers, and random people that my parents would meet. She was kind, patient, and unselfish – a true inspiration.##imported-begin##Susan##imported-end##
