Patricia Cannizzaro

Tess was the first person I met at TMHP. Tess you were truly the kindest, smartest, and a wonderful lady. On special occasions at work, she always brought the most delicious foods whether it was an entree or desserts. I will truly miss you. I will think of you often and remember your beautiful smile.

Having known Pat since the 80's she was such a mainstay, it is hard to believe she is gone. Wes and I always looked forward to our annual Zilker Garden Festival day. It was a day to walk, talk, shop, and eat. Pat was always on the lookout for a special gift for those special family events. She was the best. We will think of her always and at the garden each year. Our condolences to you.

Tess you touched so many lives in your life and career. God has taken you home to rest. Your smiling face and wonderful personality will be missed. We love you.

I had an office next to Tess's for a couple of years at TMHP. She was smart and kind and always knew the answer to my questions. I enjoyed knowing this wonderful lady.

Condolences to her family.

Tess, was one of a kind! She will truly be missed by many. My deepest condolence to her family and friends at this great lost.

Tess was a truly beautiful person and a wonderful colleague and friend. She would always go out of her way to help others, no matter how busy she was. Tess will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Tess was a sweet and knowledgeable lady. She trained me and always had an answer. This is our loss and heaven's gain.

Tess was such a sweet person and she had such an incredible wealth of knowledge. Like Jeremy said, she always had the right answer. I'm going to miss Tess.....gone too soon!

Tess, your spirit and laughter will be truly missed. I had the pleasure of being a part of your team and learning so very much from you. I really appreciate all your kindness and willingness to teach. You will forever be missed. Thank you.

Tess was a person like none other; she always knew the answer, and she always took the time to share herself with others. She enlightened hundreds with her wisdom and expertise.

More than that, though - she knew answers to questions you didn't even know to ask. Thanks, Tess.

Tess you were a wonderful sweet caring person...I learned so much from you. Heaven gained a Beautiful Angel...RIP

So very saddened to lose a good one! Tess was so sweet but also one feisty New Yorker who had a wealth of knowledge and truly was a great friend and co-worker. May you rest in peace sweet lady, thoughts and prayers for your family at this sad time

To Tess' family: I was Tess' manager for a short while. She was a woman of character and integrity. She spoke what she knew was right and fought to do the right thing always. She was tough and yet and an incredibly tender soul. It was those qualities that made her very special. It was an honor and a blessing to be her leader. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Tess, you will be missed! I am so grateful and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you. Healthcare has lost a doyen. May your family have the strength to bear this loss.

Tess you will be missed. You were a great teacher and I learned so much from you. You gave us all so much knowledge. Rest in peace and continue teaching.

I am at a loss for words. I worked with and knew Tess for many years. I always remember her saying, "
You're going to make me think today, aren't you" :) Always a kind and beautiful person. We will miss you.

Tess was a wonderful mentor, manager, teacher, nurse and friend. Her knowledge of nursing care was endless. I will miss her greatly.

Very hard to believe that Tess has left us. She truly had the kindest heart and loved her family dearly. I miss her stories and her wealth of knowledge. May peace be with her family during this difficult time.

I am shocked at the loss of this amazing wonderful lady. You will be missed so very much Tess. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

Tess was an excellent educator/teacher & nurse. I only wish I had talked to her more recently. I give her much gratitude for everything she taught me. Peace be to her family.

Tess had such an impressive wealth of knowledge and was a wonderful educator. Rest in peace dear Tess.

Patty was one of the kindest people I ever met. She was a generous and fun-loving friend and a caring nurse. I will always remember the wonderful times we spent together in Austin in 1988-93. I am truly saddened by her loss. My sincerest condolences go out to the family.

Tess, You were my mentor. You taught me all I know. I am in shock and at a loss of words on your passing. My you rest in peace. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and guidance with me. You will never be forgotten. Alisa Smith
