I just heard this morning that Tyler Beard's wife, Teresa, has died. I'm sure he would appreciate all of our thoughts and prayers.

All,
I second Lisa's motion to have Tyler and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
From yesterday's Dallas Morning News
Teresa Lynn Skelton Beard
BEARD,, TERESA LYNN SKELTON 53, died July 14, 2005, at her home in Lampasas, TX. Born March 24, 1952 at Camp Roberts, CA to Tommie Joe & Patti Nation Skelton. A fantastic, creative, loving, free-spirited lady, Teresa was partner to husband, Tyler, in numerous ventures throughout their 30 years together, writing Western-oriented books, restoring & building homes of interest, manufacturing & marketing Western dinnerware, collecting & selling antiques, & traveling throughout the world. Cooking for family & friends was one of her biggest joys, creating each dish from scratch. An avid reader & connoisseur of old movies, Teresa was cheerful, always willing to help others, having a fantastic sense of humor & wit. She loved nature, gardening, growing herbs, & feeding the deer & birds that came to expect her kindness every day at her country home. She would crawl over or under a fence; whatever it took to gather a colorful bunch of wild flowers to grace her home with beauty. Her wildest dream was to meet James Brown, the "godfather of soul." Teresa was a talented ballet & tap dancer beginning lessons age three & continuing to adulthood. An accomplished swimmer, she once saved the life of a drowning child & taught her sister & step-brother to swim. She is dearly loved & will be missed forever by family & wonderful friends, too many to mention. Teresa's sister, Rene, was her best friend whom she significantly influenced. Teresa deeply enjoyed her Lampasas ladies' group & spoke of them often as well as her many friends. Survived by husband, Tyler Beard, Lampasas; father & step-mother, Tommie & Fay Skelton, DeSoto; mother, Patti Skelton, Carrollton; sister, Rene Louis & husband, Francois; nieces, Isabella & Madeleine Louis, Carrollton; step-brother, Preston Cox & wife, Nancy, & nephew, Billy, Rowlett; mother-in-law, Betty Beard, Ft. Worth. Others: sister-in-law & husband, Deb & Skip Conkling, Folsom, CA; uncle, Gary Nation, Dallas; uncle & aunt, Bobby & Judy Skelton, Dallas, as well as cousins & other relatives. Teresa leaves Babydoll, a constant companion & full-figured "Jane Russell" terrier, her sweet little dog. Pre-deceased by grandparents Walter & Cora Smiley & Elmer & Bonnie Nation & brother, Roland Skelton. Teresa's remains were cremated. A family memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to Town Lake Animal Shelter, 1156 W. Cesar Chavez St.., Austin, TX 78703, 512-972-4738.
