To Tessa's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Tessa was so full of energy and would always make those hockey trainings over the years bearable and fun. Never a dull moment around Tessa, I will never forget her contagious smile and how she always had a laugh with everyone. Lots of love, will miss seeing your bubbly face around xx
