I have to say that never will a Christmas come and go without fond memories of Mrs. Clause - the beautiful person that brought much happiness and many smiles to all the little children along the parade path - all 3 parade paths - how many smiles must she have prompted. Theresa was one in a million - it was truly amazing to watch her orchestrate the planning and completion of the Christmas float. Without her non-stop caring and concern I know it would not have been such a success. There already seems to be a huge void in the hearts of ALL BMC members - I doubt seriously if it will ever be filled. Sister Therese will be missed and her memory will be cherished - - forever. I know in my heart she is with God now - I'm quite sure she will have Heaven organized by the time we all arrive.
I'll miss you girl,
Sak

It takes a sister (Brave) to go ahead of us to make sure things are ready for the rest of us. You know if we (Brothers) go 1st that we will just leave it messed up, but our bikes will be clean.
Sissy you have touched so much here and now you are our gardian angel keeping us safer. Thank you then, thank you now, thank you forever.

Your BMC Brother,
Brian "Crash"
