We were sitting in your tv room playing and being silly and Tessa was wearing giant bear claw slippers and some kind of funky mask. I told her it was the most beautiful anyone had ever looked! She was cracking up laughing.

Tessa, you are one of the first people we met when we moved to Chatham and one of Ryann's first friends. We always had so much fun with you and your family, and we are so happy for that! We will never forget our Halloweens with you, and so many meals together at our houses, SmashBurgher & Burger King (and figuring out who had the "king fry"- which is something the Flynns still do when we are eating fries). We will also never forget your love of music (we still have your birthday cds) and your photo books containing pictures of all of the people you love...and who love you. We love you forever.
John Cafiero
I will always admire your courage, your unwavering kindness to others and your happiness. The neighborhood will never be the same without you! We love you!

The thing I will miss about Tessa is pencil picking fidgeting and the Spanish dance that she would do before Spanish.

Tessa was 2 and we were playing on the floor. She is asking about what kind of car we drive. A 2 year old talking cars!!?!?
She had memorized every car company logo and model. Craziest thing, she knew them all! We were flipping through a car magazine and i would quiz her each page and she shockingly got them all right. So smart!

Tessa,
All of the world’s philosophies and religions agree that the greatest life is the life lived full of authenticity and love.
I am so grateful that you allowed me to witness you living your life so fully and authentically. You shined so bright and allowed others to shine their brightest around you.
You are a teacher and you taught everyone around you, whether they were aware of it or not.
You taught lessons of kindness to the other children at your school through acts large and small, seen and unseen.
You taught lessons on joy and playfulness.
And most importantly for the adults that knew you, you taught life’s most important lessons on radical self acceptance, sef love, truth, integrity, and commitment.
I am honored that I had the privilege to share these moments of time together.
Know that you are surrounded by love, on this day, and every day til the end of time.
