I got to know Teresa briefly while she worked at the USPS Encoding Center. It was just after Mark passed away and then her mother passed away. She was always talking about picking up the nieces or nephews from school and was so family oriented. I had seen her around Port Neches and finally got to realizing where we knew each other from. We worked different shifts and it was nice to get to know her. Im sorry for your loss and will remember your family in my prayers.

Jennifer,I am so sorry to hear about your sister Tudy. I have faint memories of her from when I used to come play at your house when we were little. I wish my memory was better and I could remember more of those times when we were kids. Again, Im sorry for your loss.Tina Jennings, aka Tina Youngblood

Carla and Jennifer, My deepest sympathy on the loss of Tudy. She was such a dear heart and very special person, She made me laugh and always had a smile. She was a great catcher for our softball team. I remember she and Mark so fondly and our times in St. Elizabeths and youth together in Port Neches. There is a big hole in your family. Thank God you have each other. My brother Joey sent me this link. I am in Colorado but will especially remember Tudy tomorrow and be thinking of all of you. She was a free spirit and is even freer now. No telling what she and Mark will be up to now. Linda

Dear Rhone family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Tudy tutored me for six weeks in algebra and geometry. She patiently taught me step by step and made it so to understand. I took that same patience and understanding and taught math the way she explained to me. The warmth and care behind the kind words and thoughtful acts of Tudy will stay in my heart forever . My Mother also sends her deepest sympathy in the loss of Tudy and Mark. May God bless you.
