Message from Teresa’s son:

She was the most amazing, inspiring, kind hearted, always selfless, loving person I ever have known. She even loved those that defied her, and I will never meet her equal in those regards. She was one of a kind and irreplaceable to anyone who had the pleasure to know her. I am so proud and beyond grateful that I was given the gift of being her son. She taught me everything I know about how to unconditionally love my own girls with every piece of my heart and that will live on forever. The way she cared for and loved every one of her students is the most inspiring thing I have ever witnessed. She will be missed so much by all. Love you so much mom.
