Dr. Theresa Chun

For those fortunate to know Dr. Chun, it was a joy, indeed a gift. She was my friend, and I am thankful for that.

My dear, sweet friend Theresa, it was my pleasure and delight to call you friend. Your words were thoughtful and soft spoken.

She was a very interesting conversationalist. We missed her when she moved to California. We send our sincere sympathy to...

She mentioned her nieces frequently in our...
