Theresa Gietzen Odom Pennino

I only had the pleasure and the honor of meeting Theresa "Mom" one time, but it left a lasting impression on me! What a wonderful and beautiful lady. I cannot express the sadness I feel for my best friend, her daughter Theresa, in the loss of her beloved Mother. I know she is in heaven watching over us all and making sure we are all doing the right thing, huh "T"? I know she will be missed and there are so many people who loved and adored her. Theresa remember when we took Mom out with us for a night of karaoke and junk in the trunk? I know she did! Love to you all, God Bless You and Keep You ALL in HIS Hands!!

Love you,
Debbie

Dear Family,
We are so sorry about Theresa's death. She was a lovely woman who touched so many lives with her joy and generosity. We miss her deeply already, and we can only imagine the heartbreak you feel.
One of our fondest memories of her is of the kindness she showed to the all at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish and especially with our Bible Study Group. She treated all of us like her own family. She involved many of us in that kindness, and we were all better people because of it. Theresa lived her life as a model of grace and goodness. We are very lucky to have known her.
Know that you are in are prayers.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Your surely going to be loved and missed. God bless you! Barbara Ann

I am sorry to miss the service, I am praying for your strength and peace of mind while you get through this time. Love you all very much.

Aunt Theresa was always so much fun and loving. I have only good memories of her. She was also my favorite babysitter growing up. I loved her and will miss her. I'm glad now that she is able to join her others sisters in heaven, and cousins; know that they are still praying for us! I feel it all the time.
I'm sorry I am not able to be there with all of you at this time.
Love and hugs to you all,
Sharon

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Aunt Theresa. I remember sitting and talking to her and Richard at Aunt Polly's house several years ago when I was down there with my dad. I remember Theresa saying how much she "loved the sun" and living in California. I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit with her during that time. I wish I could be there for the funeral and to see everyone again. Love to you all, Joan Gietzen (John's daughter).
