YOUNG, Theresa Maria. Dawn 22 December 1950 - Dusk 19 February 2026 My darling Theresa climbed the stairs to heaven this evening to collect her wings of Supreme Angel!! She was a woman of grace, strength, and wisdom, always putting others before herself. Theresa had loads of compassion, and an abundance of kindness, and leaves behind a legacy of love seldom seen or felt, that will be treasured forever. Steadfastly strong-willed, and mainly on the side of the underdog, she called a spade a spade. The absolute love of my life - I don't know what I am going to do without you beside me Sweetheart. Honouring her wishes, a private ceremony will be held in her favourite place to celebrate her, and her wonderful life. How lucky am I to have had somebody that makes saying "Goodbye" so very, very hard. Love always, your ever-loving husband - Barry
