To the family of Tessa-

I want to extend to you my sincere condolences on the passing of your precious daughter, wife, and mother of Hades and Luna. I worked with Tessa for five years and every moment of my interaction with Tessa was delightful. She was thoughtful, compassionate, devoted to her family and dedicated to serving. She will be greatly missed by all who had the good fortune to have known her. God Bless.

She was forever buying my lunch and not letting me pay her back. I've retold so many of her stories to my friends, they still make me laugh out loud whenever I think of them. I'll miss her so much.

She was a wonderful woman with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold. I am grateful to have known her. Her time on earth was much too brief. She touched so many lives and will be deeply missed.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I knew Tessa professionally and liked working with her so much. She was a warm, funny, down to earth woman, who anyone could tell genuinely cared about the people she supported. I will miss her.
