Simyous and family. We were so sorry to hear that Teresa had passed. Since the days of you and Cameron competing in karate (way back) we have had a friendship bond with Your mom and grandparents. She will be missed but she has prepared you to grow into the strong young woman that she envisioned! God bless and we are here for you! The Ponton family!
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Burden, I am so sad and sorry to hear about the passing of Teresa. I had the pleasure of knoing Teresa as one of the members of the Stakeholder Advisory Board at UNC-Chapel Hill (mentioned above). You already know how sweet and special she was, she and I shared during and after our sessions at TARC meetings. AS mentioned above, she was always positive and encouraging. I'll always remember her for the value she added to our group and my world. With heartfelt prayers and condolence, Denise Allen
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Burden, We are so saddened to hear of your daughter Teresa’s sudden passing. Teresa was a member of our Stakeholder Advisory Board for our Core Center for Clinical Research Grant at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Teresa was an active and engaged member of this board for almost two years and we appreciated her input and insight. She will be greatly missed. On behalf of Thurston Arthritis Research Center and our Stakeholder Advisory Board, please accept our deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,
Leigh Callahan, Associate Director, Thurston Arthritis Research Center Principal Investigator, Core Center for Clinical Research

Teresa, your smile and presence will be missed. The love and pride that you had in Simyous was undeniable. Praying for your family.
My friend, My dear friend. We shared a lot of love, pain and heartache. You were always their for me whenever I needed you. Cup only you and I shared things that your mommy told us we were going to go to jail for (lol). Cup I love you and I am going to miss the hour long talks. We always said to the end.
I love you Cup! I have great times and memories that we shared since elementary school. Although, over the years everyone grew apart, I could never forget the impact you left on my life! Until we meet again, FLY HIGH BABY GIRL...FLY HIGH!!
Love Always, Kristina Green Pearson
We were lupus sisters, in a program to encourage minorities to participate in clinical trials. We attended so many training sessions together and she was always positive and uplifting when I was discouraged about the learning process. I just heard of her passing and searched diligently to find her. I am soooo sad and heart broken right now; but I know to be absent from the body is to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I'll miss you but I want your family to understand there's no more pain. So long, Teresa!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
