So heartbroken to lose one of my best friends of over 40 years. Always more than a mother in law, she loved unconditionally, and I will miss her terribly. Reunited once again with her soul mate Gerry in the afterlife, I'm sure they are just dancing and singing as always.

I met Tess when a group of us went to the clubs Gym, she was such a lovely lady to have a conversation with,
I looked forward to having a chat with her. She will be missed.

We are very sad to hear about Tessa's passing.
We have very fond memories of the Parker Family.
Back in the late 1960's and early 70's, like Gerry, we were all involved with Beggs Music
and our families had a lot of fun together.
We knew Tessa as a wonderful, warm person and a great Mother.
To all her Family please accept our sincere condolences.

You’d never think this day would come with how strong Tessa was. The best way to describe her was your stereotypical lovely NZ nana, who was a nana to all and loved by all! She was an absolute ray of sunshine and will always remain that way in our memories. She will leave a massive hole in our lives and will be sorely missed x
