Words can not describe the heart felt sympathy I have for your intermediate family. Your lost is heavy and will take time for the hurt to lighten.
Teresa was a outstanding niece. She smiled all the time and had a beautiful personality. She was sweet and always ready to join in and help out in family activities.
The scripture that comes to mind for your family is Matthew 11:28-30: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Someone Who Cares says
So sorry to read that your dear “Teresa” have fallen asleep in death. The pain can be unbearable can be comforting,That is when we can turn to the only One that wrote the comforting words of the most comforting book I know,The Bible. I pray that God gives you the peace and comfort that can only come from him now and in the days ahead.
Denise says
Please accept my sincere condolences over the loss of your loved one. I don’t know your family personally; however I wanted to share some words of encouragement. May your family find comfort in the promise that is soon to be fulfilled at Isaiah 33:24 – “And no resident will say: ���I am sick.� The people that are dwelling in [the land] will be those pardoned for their error.”
