So sorry to hear of Theresa’s passing. We sure had fun riding our scooters. Rest in Peace my friend
Always a sweet and kind lady. Will be remembered for her goodness. My sympathy to her family.
Such a wonderful lady and neighbor growing up in MN. Lake. Deepest condolences.
Sending sympathy to the McGregor/Berry family. Theresa was such a dear lady! It makes me smile to think of seeing her at coffee parties at my mom’s, running into her around Minn Lake, & the time she & Mom joined my birthday trip to Las Vegas. I loved her giggle & sly sense of humor. Our world should have more people like Theresa! May she rest in peace…. But also enjoy reuniting with all the loved ones who were waiting for her in heaven.
Sorry for your loss Gene
Such a lovely person. Her husband Jim & my husband Roger graduated high school together so we spent several class reunions visiting. .My sympathy to the family.
