My condolences to Mrs. Theresa’s family. She was a very kind ex co-worker (DRS) and one of my aunts (Marlene) nicest neighbors. I will miss riding by seeing her sit on the porch. May God continue to bless you all. My prayers are with you.
My memories of Mrs. Teresa was her smiling dear face on Sunday mornings at UBC. She will be missed. Regrettably did not get to know her close enough to know her or her family, but I know the God that she knows. I will pray that He comforts family and friends on those hard days without her physical presence. I will be joyful in knowing she knows Jesus Our Savior.

Teresa was a great example of a godly woman. I met her when I went to Union Baptist some years back and had the pleasure of being in her company on several occasions during the time i attended Union Baptist. SHe always had a smile and she knew how to laugh in life which is rare these days. I am so sorry for the loss to her family but I know she left you all with wonderful memories and examples of a Christian woman.
