Theresa RIP. Saffees never was the same without you. I will never forget your kindness and smiling face!
Therese I’m glad to have met you at McDonalds with my parents. I remember coming home and telling my Mom that if I ever get wrinkles, I’d want ones like your because you had the best smile wrinkles on your face! In my mind, that means you lived a good life 🙂
Ms. Theresa will be greatly missed. She had a one of a kind personality that was the best. My momma and daddy loved here dearly as do I and my sister, Donna West. I am very sorry for your (our) loss). She’s with my mom and daddy now having a great time.
I am very sad today. The world has sent a great Lady to Heaven, a lady I was privileged to call my Aunt. I will miss her very much. She was such a great influence in my life, as well in my sister’s, Kathy Brown. She is now in Heaven with Mother, Daddy and all those who have gone before her who loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Don, Greg & Janet, Debbie & Dennis, Shelly & Mike, and Michael & Sharon and all her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be in my heart always.
Our world is less complete without Mrs. Markway. She was our Girl Scout leader at Immaculate Conception. She exhibited such patience and kindness. It seems that unconditional love and common sense came so easily to her. I am grateful to have had her life as an example when I was growing up. Thank you God for the life of Theresa Markway.
I wish I could be with you all today as we say goodbye to another great Forck woman. I love you all very much and pray for Aunt Therese’s speedy journey to heaven! I hope that you, Uncle Don and my cousins, can find peace in your loss and remember her loving spirit always.
Debbie and family, Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your mom was such a wonderful person and I will always remember her fondly.
God has a special place in heaven for you Therese. Memories of our high school friendship, the parties we had together and our friendship after high school will always be treasured. It was always nice to see your smiling face when I went to Saffees, you always knew just what I needed. You will be missed by many.
Affectionately,
Lois Wesplore Luetkemeyer

Debbie and Michelle, Very sorry to hear the news about your mother. She is in heaven now and at peace. Sending hugs and many prayers to you all and your families.
Don, my prayers are for you and your great family. I recall how grateful we boy scouts were that Therese shared you with us and how much we appreciated the lessons that you taught us. I recall, even now, your wedding and how beautiful Therese was then; you may recall that I was one of the altar boys at your wedding. May you find peace is the knowledge that the lovely Therese is in heaven.
Debbie,
I am sorry to hear of your mother’s death. She was certainly the brightest smile at Saffee’s! Hugs, Lisa Riley
