Dear Steve and family, I am so sorry for your loss. In time, all the pain will pass along with the grief and you will be left with cherished memories of your loved one.
Dear Warren,
I am so saddened to hear about your mother. She was a kind, generous woman. She was so proud of you and all your accomplishments. I remember her fondly and send you and your father my deepest sympathy.
I am so sad to hear about Theresa’s passing. May God Bless and keep her in his loving care for all eternity. My prayers are with her family at this time of loss.
I am so very sorry for your loss. She will be missed by so many
May this poem help you in your healing and know that Theresa is with the Lord.
When the wind blows through your hair, know that she will always be there.
When the sun shines on your face, know that it is her embrace.
As the moon comes out and takes its place, its graceful light shines across your face, when it does then you must know, its her farewell kiss before she must go.
Her very last goodbye, before she becomes an angel in the sky.
She stands before the Lord, her wings shining bright.
She takes the hand of God, and shines with all her might.
Another angel in the sky, another day that has gone by.
Another good woman laid to rest, another guardian Angel that is Gods best.
May Theresa rest in peace, and our love for her never cease.
May we be strong enough to share the love Theresa gave, and every memory of Theresa may we save.
For Theresa is our Angel that God made, forever in our hearts, She will never fade

Theresa was a student of mine years ago at CCHS, and I have never forgotten her. She was a beautiful girl and grew into a lovely young woman. I would see her occasionally, and in our brief conversations her focus was always her family. I know how much she loved her husband and son. May you both be at peace, knowing that she will forever be an angel, still watching over you.
Upon hearing that my wonderful friend Theresa Hammel went home to Jesus I became struck with grief. I know that she suffers no more and that Jesus has greeted her and now she is in His heavenly kingdom. She is learning new and amazing things in heaven. If it wasn’t for Theresa I wouldn’t have 4 beautiful children because she told me to give someone a chance. She gave me my first baby shower at her home. We had so much fun and laughter together when we worked at the Diocese. What an Amazing and very Kind Woman – A Woman of Faith. Steve, Warren, Mr. and Mrs. Muraca, you and your family are in my prayers. I love you Theresa, Always, your friend Kim
We were very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Theresa. Her family and friends have our condolences.
