I worked with Theresa at Wachovia Bank in Dallas in the late '80's. She was a great coworker and a fun person to be around. I'm sorry she was taken at such a young age. My condolences to all her family and friends.

In loving memory of Theresa Martin Battaglia - We will always be blessed by the love of Tee in our lives - Beautiful lady, Dear friend, so passionate and compassionate , most Christ-like woman who made it her mission to love and care for others. Freeman and I had such a wonderful visit with T and Toby when we met them for lunch this past September - so grateful for that time. As always, she made us laugh and cry as we talked about life, hopes, dreams, and loss of loved ones. I know that we took a photo together in front of Pappadeaux, but I cannot seem to find it on my phone. Maybe it was on her phone, but if I find it I will share it. Even without the pictures, the memory of that visit as well as others over the years are forever cherished. Theresa "T" - made the world a brighter place and her absence will be deeply felt! Love, thoughts and prayers are with you, Toby and all of the family.

Dear Theresa, It's hard to find the right words to describe the depth of my grief and the immense void you've left behind. Our friendship, which began in 1982, has been a lifelong journey filled with countless memories, laughter, and deep understanding. You weren't just a friend to me; you were truly like a sister. I'll always treasure the moments we shared—those late-night conversations, our spontaneous adventures, and the comforting silences when just being together was enough. Your kindness, resilience, and unwavering support have profoundly impacted my life. I miss you more than words can express, and the world feels a little dimmer without you. But I take comfort in knowing that you're at peace now, and I hold on to the hope that we'll meet again someday. Thank you for being my confidant, my biggest supporter, and my rock. Your spirit will continue to live on through the memories we've created and the love you've given to everyone, I was truly blessed by God, giving me the privilege to know you. Rest in peace, my dear friend. With all my love,
