Theresa, affectionately known as "Sweet T" or "Princess T" or even "Bunny" in our circle of friends, was one of a kind. Her radiant smile and infectious laugh will be in my memory forever. She was my "banter" partner. She would say something like, "You look real nice today... (pause)... . What happened.?" And then we'd all laugh. I don't know who I'll pick on now. She only did it because she loved me. Of course, I loved her too. She was a dear, dear friend whom I was blessed to know. My deepest sympathies to the Everhart family. Joni

I met Theresa at my Dr.'s office and she had a way of always making me smile, even on my worst days. I will always remember her, as my little chicken, because that's what I called her, and I was her big chicken.. She will always be in my heart and truly missed.

I first met Theresa at Kate Sullivan Elementary school in the 50's. Until she moved from Tallahassee in the late 50's, she was a classmate that I greatly admired because of an act of kindness she showed me in the sixth grade. I had always wanted to repay that kindness, but lost track of her after her move. Theresa, rest in peace, in my eyes you deserved the best.
