Theresa was a lovely lady who adored her children. She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Sending hugs and prayers to the family.
Mrs. Rivas was a very caring loving soul and we always enjoyed her company. She never came to my house empty handed! Always bought something for the family. Now that is “old school” upbringing, in which we always had a great time talking about and the people we knew and how this is a very small world. She talked very highly about her kids always happy!!!! I know now she is resting with our Lord and I truly believe we will she her again in heaven! Rest In Peace Mrs. Rivas until we meet again! You will always be remembered!
Our sympathy and prayers to cuzn Steve and his family on the loss of mom, motherinlaw and grandma to the girls. May the Lord give you all strength in the coming days and nights. Sending love and hugs.
Cuzns ChaCha & Mike.

Another beautiful soul in Heaven with our Jesus. Teresa watch over us and please say Hi to my parents, Your Daddy, Connie, Mary Lou and all our numerous friends and families. Thank you for your good company while it lasted. With Love, Anna.
Always kind, always positive is how I know Theresa. May God comfort the Rivas and Medina families during this time of sadness. The last time I saw her was in March when she was saying goodbye to her brother in law, Gene Rivas. Although a sad time she spoke of her family whom she always spoke positively about. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I will always cherish her memory. Caren, Sandy, Mando and Charlie, and Charlie, Sr. I am so sorry for your loss. God promises you will see her again. Take Care. Barbara J. Alvarado.
