  1. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. May god give you comfort at this time. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

  2. So very sad to hear this news. I worked with Teresa when we were Tar Heel Home Health. She was a tremendous worker and caring friend. Prays to all the family. RIP

  3. Betty and family, so sorry for your loss. Understand how you feel right now. Will be praying for you and your family. Cindy Hunter

  4. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever had the privilege to know…We met at Tar Heel Home Health many years ago, and after she stopped working there, we still remained friends…No, we didn’t talk everyday, nor did we visit everyday, but when we did talk, we picked up exactly where we left off with our last conversation…She had a heart made of solid gold, and there’s nothing that she wouldn’t do for anyone…She will be truly missed by all of those that knew her…I can’t even begin to imagine the pain that Betty, Tommy, Kim and the rest of her family are feeling today, but always remember, y’all will always be in my prayers…May God bless and comfort your hearts… Love, Carol Hagan
