    Kenny, Joe ,Cheryl, Dan and Angela, and the entire family of Theresa Althoff are sympathies are with you and your family on this loss.

    Theresa was a devoted servant of the Lord. She held many roles and responsibilities. Wife, Mother, Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Friend, Follower of Christ, caretaker, nurse, and a farmers wife. She was dedicated to her Catholic Faith throughout her life. She was a great example of living your faith. I know she cared for many people as an LPN, and gave them reassurance that they would be ok. May the perpetual light shine down on her soul from heaven. May the lord grant her eternal rest. Our prayers are with you and your entire family during this most difficult time.
