Second annual "Walk with Therese" to stop domestic violence

Therese was an Andy Frain usher at Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park and other Chicago events.

She was murdered four years ago.

I know there are many other ushers, vendors, Wrigley ballhawks, Pinkerton Guards, etc. from the ballparks who remember her, so I thought I'd share this info...

Therese was an assistant for a divorce lawyer. She knew the law, did
everything she could and you all know the results.

As a result of what happened to Therese, a new law was made that
speeds up the serving of an order of protection. It is called the
short form notification.
This has already helped one of my friends.

She was an incredible Beatles fan. She traveled around the world
to see Paul.
She emailed Paul's son (and he wrote back!), she met Pete Best, she
met Paul a bunch of times and was even quoted in more than one news
article about them.

She was even at the Oprah show w/ Paul McCartney.

I saw Paul in concert I think 5 times with her - 3x at the Rosemont,
once at Soldier Field and again at Busch Stadium.

At the opening of Paul's Standing Stone concert at the Royal Albert
Hall she gave him flowers at the end of the concert. If you watch the
video you can see her give him the flowers.

Therese went to a press conference for Paul and Linda's vegetarian
frozen dinners.
Her question to the McCartneys was covered by the press.

The Chicago Tribune ran an article on her years ago regarding her
Beatle fan activities.

That makes Wesley one of hundreds of suburban Chicagoans-ranging from
Beatles' fan Therese ***** of Carpentersville on through Mary Wilson
fan Carl Feurerbacher of Mundelein-who are card-carrying members of
various fan clubs that cater to just about every avocation.

I hear that Paul was informed of her passing. He would recognize her.
Later on he made a video with all ladies who resemble Therese.
