tessa


a dearly loved friend has passed on
everyone that knew her loved her
her heart was so big
it graciously held us all



my photos of her beloved homeland, Africa
she is surely there now.
your love lives on.

  5. Tessa's legacy will live in in her wonderful family - real - and blogging. I will think of her every time I see a glorious, vivid sunset and of course, every time I see or hear something of Africa.
    What a lovely bond the two of you had!

    Love, always, (and please keep Allegra in your prayers)

  9. oh Lori, what an extraordinarily beautiful post.
    She was an amazing woman and she IS an amazing spirit still among us.

    As I've said in other tributes to her, I believe she's doing her true work now. She earned her wings on earth and now she's flying free.
    her work has only just begun.

    Much love to you for the loss of such a dear friend.♥

  15. I know that Tessa will love this. To me she is still there, very real. And she has done and started so much - think of Maithri`s great work she supported, and "our" little school in Moz, and the paintings she left us, and her calendars and children`s invitations, and most of all, her bubbly joy. Yes, you and her surely are related, Lori, and I am so glad for having found you both!
