Therese was a loyal servant to God, first and foremost. She loved the church and sharing her messages of Jesus and the Holy Spirit with everyone she met. Therese was a member of St Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, was involved in the Pro Life movement, and was a devotee of Padre Pio.

Therese was preceded in death by her son, Thomas P. Jackson.

My dear friend Terry,
My heart is full of gratitude to have had you in my life.  Today and everyday, I thank you for the sweetest dog i ever had, Daisy Mae. I call her my Fluffer-nutter.  She follows me all over the palce.  In that sense I feel your presence.  
I relfect on and value our time together whether sitting in your cozy home on Lilac Lane or spending hours on the phone several evenings a week sharing stories – some serious and some hilarious.
Terry, I truly cherish our friendship.  My life is forever enriched by you.

There is no love like a mom’s love. My heart breaks for you, Marie, and your family.  I always loved the time Therese and I spent conversing over social media, and how wonderful she was to me when my mom went to heaven.  Sending all the peace and love in my heart to you always and forever my BFF.

Ohhhhh.  I had lost track of her and wondered if she was ill.  I had gotten a note from her friend last Christmas that also couldn’t find her.  I had googled her last week.  We were antiquing friends, and sisters  in Christ.  At least now I know where she is… at home with her beloved Jesus.  💕💕💕
