A woman of heart with an incomparable dedication, she knew how to make lots of friends upon her arrival in the USA.

Always extending her hand listening respectfully … that was Thérèse! For many, she was a faithful and sincere friend on whom they could count at any time … that was Thérèse! She had remarkable know-how and interpersonal skills … that was Thérèse! Thérèse was generous and available until her health failed her …! Now it’s her turn to rest!

She will be missed … but she will be forever in our memories and in our hearts!
