Does she get a lot of "Terry" emails? lol
My mom and her family shorten the first "e" more than anyone else I've heard of with the name Theresa or Teresa. It's almost like "Trisa" when they say it.

No to the email thing, but in school her name was often misspelled as Terry.
Regarding reducing that first "e," that's often how my great-grandma was referred to by name, when she wasn't "Gram" or "Nani." It did sound like "Tree-suh."
