My heartfelt condolences. I met Tessa in the swing dance scene at UIUC, and she became a dear friend to me. She will be missed very much, but her memory will continue to inspire.

To Tessa's family and many friends -
I worked with Tessa at the record store. Years later, I remember how she simply lit up any room she entered, and every person she met. She will be missed terribly. My sympathy and thoughts are with you.

My deepest sympathy to Tessa's family, friends, boyfriend, and everyone who loved her. I helped take care of Tessa in the critical care at OSF. I was one of her respiratory therapists. May she live on forever though love and memories. God Bless.

I knew Tessa from swing dance at the UIUC. She really was fun to dance with and would make any lead look good with her improvised moves. Take care everyone.

I will always remember Tessa vividly. She was by far one of the most sincere, and talented students whom I taught at the University of Illinois. My deepest sympathy to her family,

Dear Oberg Family,
Although I had lost touch with Tessa after high school, I am so deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Even at the toughest cross country practices, Tessa always had a smile on her face. She was a great leader and role model to the underclass-women on the team demonstrating hard work both in and out of the classroom. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Tessa will truly be missed.

I had the pleasure of taking classes with Tessa and being involved in the C.A.R.E. program with her at the University of Illinois. I'll always remember her as being in love with life. I'm very sorry for your loss.
