I was at the service for Theresa today and all the wonderful things that were said about her were absolutely true. I first met Theresa in 2006 when I came to work at Newfound Academy. I had already taught in secondary public school for 26 years so I was experienced at teaching science and math, but Theresa taught me patience, understanding, and compassion for these very special students. She made me a better teacher and hopefully, a better person. I am glad that we kept in contact on occasion after our time at Newfound. Her giving heart and kindness was just as great outside the school. Sometimes we couldn't find time to meet before Christmas, but she would still have my "bag of goodies and cards and crafts" even if it was March before we met. Theresa was one of a kind and she will be remembered fondly by everyone who had the privilege to know her.
