I've thought throughout the last few days after reading the shocking message over and over again this could not be real. I know I have to accept God's called His Angel home and she's crossed that river to be safe in His arms. It's hard and will take a long time to process this. Teresa was as genuine a soul as they come, to say she'll be missed by family and friends is incomprehensible. There simply are just no words. Ashley, Mr. & Mrs. Mills, and siblings thanks to each of you for accepting me like a family member so long ago and still today. God will grant you the strength to see this through. I know Tyrone and Teresa have shared many a hug since they are back together again. We'll all see them soon in the rapture. My sincere condolences to you all. Eric Evans

Mikenzie, I know your heart has been shattered, because mine is broken after only having met your grandmother this past school year at the SRP event. She was welcoming, kind, and encouraging in that short span of fellowship. The road ahead to healing may seem long, but you are not alone. Continue to cherish the times and memories that are on your phone and in your heart. Your grandmother set the standard and passed it on to your mom. Carry it on. I am praying for you, your mom, the family, and the many people whose life your grandmother touched in many ways. Love, Mrs. LaTonia Smiley

You have a long road ahead of you, but you will not be on it alone. Praying for you, your mother, the family, friends, and all of the world that has been touched by your grandmother's kind, sweet, and welcoming life. Love, Mrs. LaTonia Smiley
