Dear Chuck and Nancy(and your families), We're so sorry for your loss. Ms. Tressie was so sweet, kind,and gracious. She will be sorely missed. May she rest happily with her Jimmy in Heaven.
Nancy & CHuck:
So sorry to hear about your great loss.
Just wanted you to know that I was an old neighbor of your Mom's there on Presidents Drive.
She was always a loving and caring person... a sweet southern lady.
I know she will be missed. Please again, accept my sympathy and that of my daughter, Kelly Healy Carden.
The best way for me to describe my visions of Tressie is that she was a true lady at all times. She was a gracious and generous person and will be greatly missed by all of us in the St. Peter Altar Society.
I know that she is at peace with her Lord and is reunited with her beloved husband.
The thoughts and prayers of all of us at SSA are with you during this difficult time. Tressie left a great legacy in her children and grandchildren. She taught us all about the true meaning of life.
May God give you peace.
Dear Nancy and Chuck, I was so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. She was such a sweet lady and I always enjoyed chatting with her whenever we ran into each other. You and your families are in my prayers. Sincerely, Nancy Fonseca Reed
She was a caring Lady and will be missed. (A friend from Altar Society @ St. Peter's.)
Dearest Cary family, Mom and I aren't well enough to be with you tomorrow for Tressie's services. You are not just friends, but we cherish you all as family. All of the Le Bons have such wonderful memories of our days with Tressie and the Mayers on the "Parkway." I remember when Tressie and Jimmy "courted", and St. Matthias Church fifty-two years ago. Mom remembered that it is Tressie's birthday, and I know she is having a "heavenly" party with Jimmy, Martin, Catherine, Alice Mary and all of her family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you. The Le Bon family
Dearest Carey and Mayer families, Mom and I aren't well enough to be with you at the service tomorrow. A donation is being made to St. Peter's Church in Tressie's name. We have the best memories of growing up with Tressie, Martin, and Catherine on the Parkway. Tressie was my sponser at confirmation in St. Matthias Church. I even remember she and your late Dad "courting", while we lived "next door on the Parkway. " I am so lucky to have such wonderful childhood memories of Tressie and the Mayers . All of the Le Bon family cherish so dearly your friendship throughout the years . You really are not just friends, but truly we are family. Mom remembered that it is Tressie's birthday. Tressie will have a heavenly birthday party celebrating with Jimmy, Catherine, Martin, Alice Mary and all ofher family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. With love to all, Sue and Marion,and the Le Bons
Dear Nancy and Rick, Chuck and Laurie, and all the grandchildren, I was saddened to learn of Miss Tressie's passing today. She has always been the kindest and most gentle lady to me and my family. She has now joined her beloved Jimmy resting in God's loving embrace. May your beautiful memories of Miss Tressie and God's love comfort you all at this time. Love, Jeanne Aceves Smith
