My sincerest condolences to Thea's family.
I have fond memories of dinners, drinks, and dancing with Thea and another DEC friend (when we were much younger, of course!). Throughout the decades, we spent a portion of our days together celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4ths, Mother's Days, etc. at a mutual friend's house. I enjoyed many conversations about metaphysics, good books and music. Her love for Chicago and its contemporary bands. Thea loved to blow my mind with the latest "ideas" she read about regarding time, consciousness, and reality. I enjoyed her curiosity and zest for life. Rest in peace, Thea.
