Teresa Dunbar Obituary

Mrs. Dunbar and Harry,
I too was a classmate of Teresa's at Bret Harte. I remember how fun and funny she was. I have thought of her and Carol Winfrey often since those days but had no way of contacting her. When everyone else went on to Kenwood, I went to Chicago Latin and we lost touch. My deepest sympathies to your family. I only knew her for two years but she was such a blessing.

Dear Mrs. Dunbar and Harry,

I don't know if you remember me, but Teresa was my very first best friend in kindergarten at Hookway. I will never forget that day when we first met--writing her phone number down in crayon while we were playing the triangles, and hurrying home to call my new friend. I loved Teresa and we had so much fun coming to your house, which always felt like another home. I am writing this still in shock--I have been trying to locate Teresa for awhile now, but to no avail. I just can't believe that she has passed. I have so many memories of playing in your house, building tents, "exploring" the "woods" behind your home, and giggling. I remember the fun we had the night she spent with me in my dorm at NU, and how thrilled I was when she decided to come there for school. You and Harry and all of your family have my deepest sympathy, and forever, she will be in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Donnetta "Candy" Simpson Black

Dear Ms. Dunbar and Harry,
As Kathie Evans said, you probably don't remember me either but Theresa and I were extremely close. We had so many fun filled days at Bret Harte, bowling and at sleep overs at your home.
I as well tried to find Theresa on the Internet as I have been in Atlanta since graduate school.
Please accept my sincere condolences.

Sincerely,

Sherisse McLaurin

Dear Ms. Dunbar and Harry,
You probably don't remember me and my brother Nelson, but Theresa was my best friend at Brete Harte (grades 6-7). I have thought of her fondly over the years remembering our dissection of the fetal pig – I'll never forget the smell of the formaldehyde, your pet rabbit, making my first homemade pizza at your house, the cute neighborhood boys with the mopeds, and the many lunches Theresa, Sherise McLaurin, Karen Cross and I spent at the Museum of Science and Industry. I have been looking for her via the internet for the last few years to no avail. I was so sorry that when I finally hear news of her, it was to hear of her passing. I just wanted you to know that she was a great friend to me and I will remember her always. I wish you and your family many blessings and the comfort of our dear Lord in your time of transition and grief from me, Nelson and my Mother.

With love and respect,

Kathi Evans Davis

To the family, we've never met, but please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Whenever we lose a loved one in death it is too soon. I'm sure you will take comfort in your loving memories. Please be assured that our heavenly Father is also there to comfort you during this difficult time. (2 Cor. 1:3,4). Sincerely
