• I recently learned of Theresa's passing and am truly saddened to see such a beautiful angel be taken from us much too early. I met Theresa when she first brought Katie and Paul to taekwondo and had the pleasure of spending many fun times with her, the kids and Biscuit! I will never forget her smile, strength and persevering attitude - she will forever remain an inspiration to me. Theresa - I will think of you whenever I have Kir Royale and nachos. All my love to the family, xo - Posted by: Anjali Patel (Friend) on: Aug 13, 2012

• I would like to send my delayed condolences to Theresa's family She was a ray of sunshine .I had the pleasure of first meeting her at Ecole Tuxedo Park. I knew she had just had breast cancer surgery and looking very frail I wanted to do something nice for her. She was home recovering so we made a gingerbread mobile kit for her and her young kids ,so they could be kept busy while she rested. Dear Theresa,may you rest and be finally free of all the pain you so elegantly persevered. with love - Posted by: Dorothy Vannan ( friend) on: Aug 10, 2012

• I now live in Alberta and just learned of Theresa's passing. I worked for a short time with Theresa in the WPS Comm Centre. Although I did not know her well, what always struck me was her grace and her extraordinary spirit. I admired her greatly.

• Although I lost touch with Theresa and the Comeau family many years ago after moving away post high school, I hold many fond memories of our high school days and close friendships. Theresa was actually an incredible inspiration to me with her dogged determination and high moral standards in everything she did. During our track and field days, Theresa could always be counted on to provide many words of encouragement for all when we just wanted to give up. I’ve often described Theresa as the nicest person I’ve ever known and strive to model my personal interactions as she did. I do regret not keeping directly in touch with Theresa over the years but know that she has touched the lives of many people in a similar positive way. My heartfelt condolences to the friends and families but note that we are all blessed for having known Theresa and will be consoled by the fond memories she has left in her wake. - Posted by: Greg Krebs (Friend) on: May 24, 2012

• I met Theresa at Oak Park and ran track with her. I was lucky enough to be able to call her one of my friends. Over the years we would run into each other many times and catch up on what was happening in our lives... She will be remembered by me as a beautiful, warm hearted and courageous woman that had a smile that would light up a room. Her quick wit and ability to make you see the positive in everything will be missed. My deepest condolences to the Comeau and the Ludlow family. The memories are what keep her in our hearts, always. - Posted by: Kim Bates (Kshywieski) (Friend) on: May 24, 2012

• I was blessed to have known Theresa as a co-worker with Winnipeg Police - I first met her at the Run for the Cure in 2003 and was immediately struck by her courage and strength. She truly was an angel and touched my life and others in incredible ways - rest in peace, lovely Theresa. - Posted by: Susan Short (colleague) on: May 24, 2012

• We had the privilege of meeting Theresa, Katie & Paul at Pan Am Pool, when Katie & Delayne swam with Manta Swim Club. We look back and think of it as a true blessing to have met one great woman and mother. We remember having Theresa and Katie over one afternoon, and Katie discovering Delayne's game "Who Knew". Theresa and I enjoyed a cup of tea while the girls played the game. Before we knew it, Katie had her mom and myself join in. It was that moment that I observed a great woman/mom who would do anything for her daughter no matter what. Theresa, we will always think and know you are watching us every time we play "Who Knew". Our prays to Katie & Paul and your family. - Posted by: Jeanne & Delayne Litowitz (Friend) on: May 23, 2012

• It brings me great sadness to hear of Teresa's passing and my heart and sincere condolences go out to her family. What a tremendous loss. I was a high school friend and went to Red River Community College with Theresa where we became carpooling buddies when Maurice would transport us to and from school. She was an amazing woman with a heart of gold and a true reflection of her wonderful parents. I feel blessed for having known her and pray that the days ahead will bring peace and comfort to those closest to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Karen Wheeler (Friend from High School/College) on: May 23, 2012

• Certain people enter our lives and, through their sincerity, make our lives better. With her humble nature I truly doubt Theresa could ever appreciate how wonderful an impact she made on the lives of the people around her. The strength and courage she embodied through her struggles was a vivid display of the character that was the core of who Theresa was. Theresa was kind enough to keep in touch through the years and it was of little surprise to see the incredible mother that she became. When she shared the news of her relationship with Jim, and their new expanded family, I felt privileged to have a glimpse into this new stage in her life that had brought her such happiness. Theresa added so much to each of our lives and she so truly deserved to be treated with the same respect she shared with us all. While her time was too short, the meaningful way in which she touched so many lives will leave a legacy few will forget. Trez will be missed. - Posted by: Rory Herget (Friend) on: May 22, 2012

• Theresa was always a big smile and a friendly Hello. I was on the track team with her in Westdale and she was always sweet and encouraging, never a bad thing to say about anyone. She touched my life after school was over and was a friendly voice during stressful situations. It's so hard when people are taken so early. My codolences to the entire Comeau family.

• To the Comeau family. I had the honour of knowing both Theresa, and Carolyn when they ran for the Galaxy track club. My thoughts and prayers are with you now during this tough time of saying see you later to Theresa. She always had a big, bright smile for everyone. I remember a few years back when I ran into her at the Police Services Half. She was bravely handing out the medals to us, finishers. It had been years since we had seen each other, she recognized me and I got the biggest hug. Her fight has helped me to fight my own Cancer battle. For this I will forever be grateful. Anyone who has known this lovely woman will know what a trooper, and true friend, we had in her. Rest now dear Theresa, till our paths cross again. You will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Marilyn "Mouse" Fraser (Friend) on: May 21, 2012

• My heartfelt condolences go out to Theresa's family in their time of loss. I met Theresa and her sister, Carolyn at Westdale Jr High back in 1978. We were all really involved in track and field which extended into our high school years. In those days we went to early morning track practices together and braved all those bumpy bus rides to track meets in cold pairie towns. What I remember most about Theresa was her quick sense of humour, her good cheer and her infectious laughter that instantly brightened those dark winter mornings in the hallways of our school. She always had an encouraging word for me even in times when we ran in the same heat. I lost touch with Theresa after moving to Germany several years ago, but I was happy and moved to read that despite her illness, she had led a fulfilled life with her loved ones and friends. - Posted by: Catherine Roe-Hänel (friend from Oak Park High School) on: May 21, 2012

• I met Theresa at the start line of an 800m race in Winnipeg in 1980. She exuded so much warmth even while mentally preparing for a battle on the track. I had the good fortune of getting to know her and her entire family in the ensuing years. My heart goes out to Theresa and her many loved ones. Peace and love to all... - Posted by: Carol Howe () on: May 20, 2012

• I had the privilege to teach each of Thersa and Jim's children at St. Charles Catholic School. I had the pleasue of meeting and speaking with Theresa on many occasions and I can say she was a marvelous, caring person who put her children first in her life.

• Please accept our deepest condolences. Therese was such a kind person. I will forever remember camping in Bakers Narrows with our two families. She was always so good to me. My parents thought the world of her as well. Mom had surgery recently and cannot travel yet. She also has asthma and a severe allergy to incense. I have the same allergy and asthma. We are very sorry to not be able to attend the funeral. We will hold Therese, and your family in our hearts, in our thoughts and prayers. Cindy Johnstone on behalf of Gordon and Lillian Johnstone. - Posted by: Cindy Johnstone (Family friend) on: May 19, 2012

• Mrs. Ludlow was a true hero that I will never forget. Her actions that she showed to me may sound little but to me it was something that is unforgettable and every time I look back to it I think what a wonderful woman she was. She was an angel! She was one of the happiest people I knew, she was always positive and she had such a beautiful smile that no one would ever forget! I am absolutely glad I met a person like this! She has made such a huge impact on my life! I would like to give my thanks to Katie and her mom for always being there for me! I will never forget you Mrs. Ludlow! - Posted by: Karla (Friend of Katie) on: May 19, 2012

• Theresa and I met when we were placed on a curling team together many years ago. We were instant friends and would laugh and joke. We remained curling team mates for many years and friends after the curling ended. I remember the year that Theresa was first diagnosed with cancer .. she was so brave and continued to laugh. She was a beautiful and strong woman and I was always so impressed with how she managed everything. The world is certainly missing a wonderful person who gave so much. Theresa you will be truly missed. - Posted by: Brenda Suderman DuVal (friend) on: May 19, 2012

• My heartfelt condolences go out to Theresa's family and friends. I was a classmate of Theresa's at Oak Park High and even though we weren't close friends, she was a hard person to forget. I remember Theresa from some of my classes and I always admired her great athletisism and dedication. She was alway a happy and kind person and it saddens me to hear of her early departure from this earth. - Posted by: Krista Pryor (Former classmate) on: May 19, 2012

• My thoughts and wishes to Theresa's family. I was friends with Theresa in the mid 80's where we both ran track on the Wpg Police track team. We became friends and spent time hanging out at the beach and seeing each other at work. Theresa was one of the sweetest and kindest souls I have ever met. She was always thinking of how others felt and was so thoughtful and considerate to everyone she met. I lost touch with her over the years but heard through mutual friends how she was going through her cancer with grace and dignity. I was so happy to hear she found Jim and created wonderful memories with her children. - Posted by: Susan (Oades) Simo (Friend) on: May 19, 2012
