Teresa was a giving, loving, and compassionate woman who loved gardening and watching hummingbirds while saying her morning prayers. She had beautiful gardens filled with all kinds of flowers, and she had a saying "Buy me flowers to enjoy now, not just when I'm gone." So the next time you see a hummingbird, picture Teresa praying to her Father in Heaven, who has called her home. From your loving children, "We Love You Mom!"
