There are so many memories! How to pick just one… Teresa was all about experiences, she was so much fun. She loved the outdoors, animals, protecting and doing for others, God, country, her friends and family, and challenging herself and adventure. We decided to try the Escape game and had never done it, nor did we know what we were doing, 3 of us went inside a room meant for 12 and tried to “escape”. We were all doing different activities and I turned around to see Teresa on the floor, upside down beneath a box of a barrel of monkeys, threading them all together. We laughed so hard! We ended up taking all the clues but were so bad, the game monitors were basically giving us answers to clues because they felt so sorry for us. We may not have escaped but we laughed and laughed hard, Teresa loved to laugh and have a good time. She always made sure we were laughing even in the hard times. We will all be hearing Teresa’s laughter and voice, and heed her zest for life. I love you Teresa and you have left a huge void in your exit from this earth. I’ll see you at the gates of Heaven, I am sure that is where you will be, checking our baggage and making sure we leave it behind before entering.

We love ❤️ our Officer Teresa! My kids studied at Rutland Elementary. She was awesome ❤️
