Subject: Obit: Theresa died this morning From: GUEST,Sheila in China Date: 02 Jan 10 - 06:59 AM I just happened to ring Kath who has been such a huge support to Theresa to get the update and spoke to Kath's daughter who said Theresa died in hospital this morning (Saturday). I am sure people will be able to add to this thread when more information becomes available. I certainly will remember her with great fondness and grateful for the wonderful inspiration she has been to hundreds of people. She also was a great encourager of less experienced singers - me included I regret I will not be able to be at the funeral as I am still living in China |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa died this morning From: Tig Date: 02 Jan 10 - 07:40 AM It's one of those cases where the outcome was kindest for her. She, like Col K, will never be forgotten by all who came across her. Remember her with the joy of life she always seemed to have. She would be ashamed of us if we went into deep mourning for her. Go and join that great festival in the sky and sing out true again. RIP. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa died this morning From: MoorleyMan Date: 02 Jan 10 - 10:09 AM I read Sheila-In-China's post earlier and couldn't quite believe it, but all the same I felt that curious but entirely natural sense of relief. It sounds horrible, but with all the unbelievable suffering Theresa's been through this past while - well you know. Then I came back on line just now and the news is confirmed, so I guess I'll make number 27. I can only echo what Hazel said, she put it so well (>>Sad news indeed but a blessed relief as she was suffering so much<<) - says it all. That peace is what the doctor ordered, right? But oh what a privilege it was to have known her, such an inspirational lady, such a life-affirming spirit, and such a powerful voice (and not just her singing!). What a grand chorus line - Theresa, Johnny Collins, Barrie Finn and ColK ! RIP Theresa, we'll always luv ya. |

Click on this link: Theresa then scroll down to the bottom, where Theresa is modelling a fetching number she picked up at the Getaway auction. She is also on several other Shellback photos in that group, where she is always at the front. God bless, Theresa. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 02 Jan 10 - 11:34 AM I was so saddened to hear this news, even though it looked like it would be coming. Theresa and Colin Kep, Carole, Noreen and Allan visited here a few years ago and once you met Theresa, you would never forget her. I believe she's gone home. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Theresa Tooley (Treaties) 2 Jan 2010 From: katlaughing Date: 02 Jan 10 - 11:56 AM I never met her, but heard so much about her from those who had. The thing that struck me the most, in recent times, is her courage. I was in awe of how she dealt with such a tragic disease. I admire that she did as much as possible before it got so bad and that she kept her spirit, enjoying the joke thread we had for her and all. What an incredible spirit was obvious even though we'd not met. My condolences to her family and friends. I like Janie's idea, too. Enjoy singing freely now, Theresa. kat |
