My little TESSA almost a year now since i last saw you, can t even begin to say how much i miss you. you know i talk to you all the time. i look at your pictures everyday, you know now just how much i really loved you. your little 6 year old heart really did a # on me. sometimes i can barely make it through the day, but of course you know that, cause i can feel your spirit around me all the time. i know mamaw jewel & mommy judy are very happy now that you are there with them in heaven. i ll join you guys there someday when the LORD gets through with me. i will never forget how you always looked everywhere for your mommy after she passed away & then you did the same after mamaw passed away. you never quit looking for them, well, you finally found them girl. i am so glad for you. you three did a number on me though but i ll be alright with many prayers, just looking & waiting for my time to join you guys. i look outside sometimes & i can see the swing that we played on so much, & i can see it moving all by itself & i grin & then i cry. i love you so much girl Papaw

My heart is broken. I had the honor to meet Tessa along with her loving grandparents Mr. & Mrs. Phillips. She brightened my days every time I saw her. One day when she came to the hospital to say hello, I said "hey pumpkin"! She said "I'm not a pumpkin, I'm a girl"! I said you're absolutely right! You are a beautiful girl. My prayers are with you always. And forever she will fill the memories of my heart with joy. May God hold all of you close and give you peace that passes all understanding.

Brad,
Thinking of you every day and praying you feel strength and love as you go in your mission to honor your girls. I never got the pleasure to meet Judy but I believe I will some day. As for Tessa, I loved meeting her at the office party and seeing her boogie in the music room. She was so funny when u called her over to meet me her lil face was not amused that we interrupted her fancy moves just to come say hi . She is such a beautiful little girl and I mean it when I say her smile could have lit up the month of may and for me it did on many occasions as u shared pictures of that sweet smile. Thank You.
All my love and Respect to you and Your family.

Words cannot heal your broken heart but please know that you are in my prayers. I don't recall meeting Judy, but I do remember Jewel. She and my mother, Ann Hollingsworth Wrenn, were cousins. May God be with you in the days ahead.

Dear Brad and Anita, I am so very sorry for your loss.It is very hard to accept the passing of a dear one and especially one with so much of her life still untried.But as I have been told many times, God doesn't just want old people in heaven but all ages of angels whom he has called home.. My prayers for you and Anita will be great and extra that God will now give you the grace you need to accept His Will and keep on until He calls you home too. God bless you. Anna Parado.
