In the death of our daughter and sister, Teresa, we would like to express with deep gratitude our thanks to all who helped in the search for Teresa.
To the local news media and all the volunteers who assisted in the search and made or hung posters, especially Scott Bloedorn and Ryan Hillegas, who led the efforts and took an enormous burden off the family.
To Sheriff Jerry Pagel, the investigators and the rest of the Calumet County Sheriff's Department, and all surrounding county sheriff's departments, the Wisconsin State Patrol, the State Crime Lab and all other law enforcement agencies for all your hard work.
To Jay Breyer and Y.E.S. for posters and your kind support. To the air search teams, diving teams, area fire departments, and a special thank you to the canine units for your tireless efforts in searching for Teresa.
Thank you to Tom Pearce for giving Teresa her own start in photography and for helping her now. To the entire Green Bay Packers organization for your generous support and understanding. To Twohig, Rietbrock & Schneider, SC for your help and understanding. And thank you to all other area businesses for your donations and for the use of your resources.
We'd also like to thank Father Dave, Father Ken, Bishop Zubik, Carl and Donna Hanson, the choir, Patti Sevala and everyone else who helped to make Teresa's memorial mass beautiful. To Paul and Lisa Lauer for offering the use of the Crystal Ballroom for the overflow crowd from the mass. To all who helped set up the gym for the vigil and dinner and brought and served food, it was all very much appreciated.
Finally, thank you to all those who brought food to the house, sent cards and letters, gave donations and gifts, and offered your prayers. And to our family and friends, we will forever be grateful for your hugs, tears and caring support.
God bless you all!
Tom, Karen, Tim, Mike, Katie and Kelly Halbach
