Theresa and I have known each other for 51 years. We went all the way through school together, from 4th grade at Britt David Elementary, when we lived in the same neighborhood, til our graduation at JVHS in 1970. When we were young, she always invited me to spend her birthdays with her and we would have lots of fun, laughing and giggling all the while! She was a dear friend and will be greatly missed! My prayers go out to everyone who knew and loved her. Rest in peace my sweet friend.

Many years ago, when a child, she sat at my Washington office desk when her family visited me there. Her parents, Naomi and Judson, were the closest of friends to Lois and me, and I miss them still. The girls were like children to us, and we are sorrowful at Theresa's passing. Please accept our sympathy, and please know of our love.

I also remember Theresa at Jordan High School and she was always a very caring compassionate friend! We were not close but she was very sweet! I hope life treated her well, for she deserved it! Rest in peace with our Lord Theresa! - Vickie Holland Burch (Atlanta, Georgia)
