One might remember Teresa for her garden. She lived by the walk path in Hudson. She dedicated a vast amount of time up keeping her garden and flowers for everyone’s enjoyment. She loved seeing individuals walking by and commenting on her beautiful yard. She too was always seen walking especially with her sister, Alexandria. She was an active member of St. Michael’s Church and when she lived in Portugal, she was also involved in the Church in her hometown. Her enthusiastic and loving personality will always be remembered by all.
