Teresa had one last wish which was to donate her brain to Parkinson’s research, a selfless act on her part that her children fulfilled with the help of Memorial Funeral Home in San Juan and Gift of Hope Center in Los Angeles, CA. She was a stern woman but also a very loving, caring and giving mother, grandmother and human being. Teresa and her husband, Ramon, moved here from California to start a new life with dreams of owning a business of their own and they achieved it by being the owners of Su Casa Café in Pharr for 18 years.
We love you Mama, see you with Jesus in paradise.
