She totally inspires me, so much so that Teresa is named after her. They share the middle name Maria. She was a brave, strong, committed woman. And as for being married to a Newman, she called it "bliss" if I remember the context correctly. That word, "bliss," in her life history always stood out to me, even at a young age. I thought it was so romantic and enviable.kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939543780893975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347160390805003816.post-65565517229233673352009-03-17T19:39:00.000-07:002009-03-17T19:39:00.000-07:00I totally thought they were more Irish- like more ...I totally thought they were more Irish- like more percentage?
