Theresa Mary Schmitz
This was the name she was born with. However, over the years her name took on many changes. Theresa Timberger. Theresa Reynolds. Theresa Coates. Theresa Schmitz Coates. Theresa Schmitz-Coates.
You can take your pick as these are all Theresa. She was a very fluid personality is as much as we can say about her if you had to pick 1 word.
I can tell you when she got her start in life.

We can add in and talk about where our ancestors came from.
She's the granddaughter and 2 x great granddaughter of Polish immigrants. 2nd great granddaughter of Danish and Belgium ancestors. All of which this blog is about. It's these thousand loves who made her up in body.
You have the things which you can see in her pictures growing up.

These stories, above, are what we tell to 'put the flesh' on the bones of the person. These are the stories which you want to hear and tells us more about the person.
This is how, now that she's passed, we need to remember. We should all be remembered with respect. These are the important things in life.
We need to cherish each life as it had been lived.
Tell us, in comments below, of a memory of her which you remember.
Put more flesh on those bones of hers...
