Mixed feelings at a loss are almost inevitable. It's good that you can see that Teresa would have seen humour in the mix up at the hospital. To me, a lasting friendship is one from which you can carry benefits forward throughout your life - and if Teresa's advice and sense of humour are things you can refer to in the future then that will help to keep her memory alive for you. I'm sure that she, as a friend of yours, would not want the move to a place of your own to be overshadowed by her death, so move forward with your life knowing that she'd be happy for you - I'm sure she would.
