COLONIE-We now honor the life of an amazing woman. Teresa Maloney was a selfless wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt. Everything she did was filled with love, joy, dignity, respect and beauty. Wherever she lived, whether it was in White Hall, North Maryland Avenue or Reisling Road, it was home because she was there. She was present for each one of us. She is our own precious treasure.

Every day we give thanks to God for her. She made everyone feel special because she was so very special. Being in her presence was an event which made anyone who experienced it know what it truly meant to be welcomed and loved. You always had her full attention as she made sure you were cared for and felt at home.

For Teresa, family and faith, food and fun were here highest priorities. She always provided the best. Teresa and John attended Mass at St. Clare's praying for their sons Jimmy, Dennis, John and Richard. Added to this great family, Jimmy and John have the dearest spouses in Stella and Linda. Her grandchildren Michael, Katie, Caroline and Kevin were adored and cherished. All of us who have participated in family events have experienced excellent hospitality. These memories will live on as will Teresa Maloney's spirit in her priceless legacy given to all of us with great pride. Just as she was truly treasured, she has given us her treasure -- her Jimmy, her Dennis, her John and her Richard.

Thank you, Teresa, for the light that was you and your precious gifts.
