Dear Vahlkamp Family,
Thinking of you as we remember both Theresa and “Skip”
as ever,
dick & pat Wentura.
To the Vahlcamp family, I’m sorry for your loss.
Linda Boden. May she rest in peace with the Lord.
May Teresa be in Eternal Peace. I remember her presence at every QND game, watching her children play. I will pray that God gives you the strength you need in the days ahead, and that HE will fill your hearts with the many great memories you created, and shared, with her. God Bless.
Aunt Teresa was always smiling during all the years of camping, Thanksgivings, weddings and other special moments we all celebrated and gathered as a huge family. Remembering all the joys and laughter of all family, past and present. Aunt Teresa will love in our hearts forever. I pray she has been welcomed to heaven by my mom, her sisters, Uncle Skip and Brian.
Wishing you all peace love and comforting hugs.
Bernie, Mary Pat, & family,
I am so sorry for your loss! You are in our thoughts and prayers!
