Having only known Tess a short time, I grew to love her spirit. She was truly a gift from God to all she came in contact with. She will be greatly missed. However, I pray her family and friends find solace in knowing Tess is now with the Lord, no pain, no sorrow. Her work is done. See you soon Tess.
