Teresa Chaloner Bradley

One night a woman had a dream. She dreamed she was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from her life. For each scene, she noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to her, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of her life flashed before her, she looked back at the footprints in the sand. She noticed that many times along the path of her life there was only one set of footprints.

She also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in her life. This really bothered her and she questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The Lord replied,

"My daughter, My precious child, I love you and I would

never leave you. During your times of trial and

suffering, when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I Carried You."

It is with a heavy heart and great sorrow that we confirm that our beloved mother, Teresa Chaloner Bradley, passed away on April 28, 2025, in her home. She passed peacefully in bed after waking briefly to speak to her husband. She was 60 years old.

She was known as “GiGi” to her newfound passion in life during the later part of her years, she was a caring grandmother to Amelia and Pierce Patterson.

Teresa is survived by her devoted husband, Ross Preston Bradley II; her loving daughter Lindsey Patterson ( Maurice Patterson ) and son Ross Bradley III ( Emily Brandon ). Her two beautiful grandchildren, Amelia and Pierce Patterson. Father-in-law Ross Preston Bradley and cousins-extended family. Not forgetting more friends who had become more like family over the years.

Teresa had a passion for the beach with her friends and a love for any and all animals that came her way. She was kind to all and would do more for others than she would do for herself.
