In Loving Memory Of My Mother,
Theresa A. McClellan
August 21st, 1960 to September 21st, 2001
My mother was a unbelievably selfless person, who left us all way to soon. She dedicated her life to trying to make a difference. She spent years teaching visually impaired children, special needs children and even high school children who were labeled high risk. (expected to dropout) When she was not in a classroom full of children she was at home in a house full of children. Which may not seem unique to most until you realize that not one of those children belonged to her! My Mother and Father ran a foster home. A foster home that through the years lovingly cared for over 20 children. Together they changed the lives of every child who walked through their door. I can say this without doubt because I am one of those children! Although we miss her dearly we know that she is in a better place. And if I had to guess I would say God needed her in heaven to tame the unruly children! Mom you were an amazing woman who touched the lives and hearts of all children lucky enough to cross your path. We love and miss you!
