Dear Diane and family: I am so sorry for the loss of a very special young lady. She inspired a lot of peoples lives, mine included. I was tessa's bus driver many years ago when you guys lived on West Ave., i'm sorry i have not stayed in touch, but my wife's aunt works at Aspire and when I found out that she worked with Tessa, I would always ask her about Tessa. I always kept a watch from a distance. She always was and will be in my heart.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time. I new tessa a very short time but the little time i new her she was always so cheerfull and smiley.I will never forget her and she will be highly missed by all..

Jen and family,

Thank you SO MUCH for giving me the privilege and opportunity to learn who Tessa was and what made her an incredible angel who spread happiness, joy, and smiles to those around her. You've honored me by sharing with me such an incredible treasure as well as the love and the loss you feel for Tessa. I've learned that it was her incredible and contagious smile and how she brought sunshine and smiles to others whom she cared about that made her so special. ...

To Tessa's wonderful family~ I am so sorry for your loss. Tessa was truly an amazing person with the soul of an angel. She could turn anyones gray sky blue with her smile and the light in her eyes. I will truly miss her contagious laugh and her bubbly personality. She will always be our hearts here @ respite.
