I was fortunate enough to become Theresa's neighbor during what I would consider her golden years 1995-2014. She had a very active circle of adoring friends who visited her often, and always included her in trips to the casino, to a weekly Canadian card game, to church and out to dinner. I remember thinking to myself, she has a more active social life than I have. She was one of eighteen children, which to this day still stops me in my tracks. We shared many dinners throughout her years. Lucky for me, Theresa loved Italian food, as all of my recipes handed down from my mother were for a family of six. Perfect for the two of us! I had never in my 35 years eaten a turnip in my life, but that changed in 1995. Almost every one of her dinners included turnips. I grew to love them. She once told me she could eat an onion like an apple. I had no reason to doubt her. One time she asked me if I would go to the corner store and by her cigarettes. I got to the store, and told the guy that I needed 2 packs of smokes, but I couldn't remember what brand I needed. He asked, "Is this for the lady down the street"? When I answered yes, he said, "She smokes Carlton 100's". I am lucky to have so many fond memories of my friend Theresa. May she rest in peace.
