Theresa was one of the last faithful choir members at Gregg Chapel, when the choir sometime only had 3 or 4 people singing, Theresa would be among that 3 or 4. If we are doing something to bring glory to God, you need faithfulness. Theresa, I am sure had some hurdles to get over, but she gave her best! I want the family to know God is there and will provide for your needs. Even in our grief, God can comfort us. Darrick and all of Theresa’s family I want you to know you have my deepest sympathy and I am praying for your strength in the Lord. One beautiful thing I learned about Theresa over the years is that family meant so much to her. Cherish her legacy and her love for you, that will always be yours to keep.

This is a sad one. I remember Teresa and the family as a little girl on the Southside (green house) with the big dog that I was scared of. Teresa was my babysitter for years and so was her sister. My mom always knew my brother and I were in good hands with all state when we got dropped off at the Itson house. I would see Teresa around town and she always had a smile and would ask you how you were doing. She even had a cool swag about her. To all of her family, I am so sorry about your loss. I do know that this is not the end. The Lord’s prayer has not been fulfilled yet. We look forward to Jehovah’s will being done on earth as it already has been done in heaven. My you all be comforted. Revelation 21:3,4

Theresa was a classmate of mine at Park, but also cared for my mom at a nursing home in Kenosha during my mom’s final days in 2001. She had such a caring heart, always a positive attitude and a smile on her face. She would also bring meals for dad as he visited my mom, which he thought was so incredibly kind. Rest in peace, sweet Theresa. Your kindness will be missed.
