From a very good friend of Teresa (Arasina):
"Got the terrible news I'd been half expecting. Early this morning Teresa (arasina @Free Republic) has passed on to be with the Lord due to complications with what was an acute case of cystic fibrosis. Her lungs simply would not respond. Even with her oxygen machine she could not quite get enough oxygen. All that could be done at that point was sedation. On Saturday I'd called but she immediately said she couldn't speak. Yesterday I regrettably didn't reach out...and this AM Teresa's niece left the message of the bad news. The only solace I have is that I know she is with the Lord. I prayed for mercy and relief, and He fulfilled that request.
Red -- if you could -- please post Teresa's FR obit. She was 63, a native of Indianapolis, a Christian woman of good cheer, loved people, FR, all that was good and right. Most importantly, she loves Jesus and believed in the Gospel with all her heart.
Thank you, brutha,
Jim"
There is beauty both in sunrise and sunset, sing of it, and glorify the Lord. Like the nightingale, pour forth thy notes at all hours. Believe that the night is as useful as the day. The dews of grace fall heavily in the night of sorrow. The stars of promise shine forth gloriously amid the darkness of grief. Continue thy service under all changes. If in the day thy watchword be labour, at night exchange it for watch. Every hour has its duty, do thou continue in thy calling as the Lord's servant until He shall suddenly appear in His glory. My soul, thine evening of old age and death is drawing near, dread it not, for it is part of the day; and the Lord has said, "I will cover him all the day long." Charles H. Spurgeon
Prayers up.
Condolences to friends and family. Prayers up. We have one more angel fighting on our behalf.
1 Thessalonians 4:
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
Prayers for her family and friends. I will keep all of them in my prayers.

As an aside, 63 for Cystic Fibrosis is quite an achievement. She must have had a very, very strong will.
I am sure she is being lauded in heaven.
OMG that is so sad. She was a favorite!
Prayers up for a great FReeper.
Never knew her, but prayers for the family.
Forgot to ping you. I believe you conversed with arsina here on FR.
Prayers for her family & friends.
Bless those who mourn, eternal God,
with the comfort of your love
that they may face each new day with hope
and the certainty that nothing can destroy
the good that has been given.
their memories become joyful,
their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love.
Amen.
My heartfelt condolences to Teresa's family and friends.

Praise our Lord Jesus Christ for his forgiveness and promises. Every passing of a Christian should increase our faith as we look ahead expectantly. Prayers for the family and our community.
‘Tis a sad day. She was so often cheery and good natured. My condolences for her friends and family.
