I am devastated by the loss of Mama Teresa. Her son Ron and I were so close that she was family to me. She was a courageous, kind, humble, and wonderful person. She, through her family taught me many life lessons. Her son Ron, adored her and there was never a day that went by that he didn’t have a Mama Teresa story to share. Although, this is a tremedous loss for the Patane family, it makes my heart happy that Ron and Teresa will be reunited.
Terese was my mothers best friend and like another mother to myself and my six siblings. So very very sad to hear of her passing .Like losing my Mom again…. With love to her memory and family
