Tessa was a great friend.. We were never really close but I knew I could count on her to be there for me anytime I needed her.. She was so great to talk to she always listened to me with my problems and tried to help me anyway she could. I remember in 8th grade she used to always take my phone in our science class Mr. Hickey's and we would take pictures. I miss her so much. Rest in paradise Tessamarie Karma Anderson!<3

Tessa was an amazing friend and even though time has passed I still think about you everyday. I love you so much dear. I remember anytime in 7th or 8th you had Nathans jacket that was many sizes to big for you, you would always turn around put it over your head and then turn back around cross your arms put your head back a little and say in a deep voice "look at me guys, I'm a thug." Gosh I wish I could hear you say that one last time. It always made my day and always made me laugh.

Tessa, I think you made me the youngest grandpa in the planet:) I remember the looks from people at the stores looking at me funny cause this beautiful young girl was yelling at her grandpa. You have filled my life and Aunt/Grandma Wendy's life with just an absolute joy. We will miss and love you dearly from now till we see you again. Save me a piece of chocolate and a piece of gum. Fly with the angels my beautiful grand-daughter. We Love You

I'm so sorry for your lose. Me and Tessa were best friends at one point we were like sisters thats what she always told me, we have a lot of memories together the good and the bad. We would share laughs together, and tears. We would hang out almost every day, have sleep overs every day we almost never went a day with out each other. But when we stopped talking she would post things like i wish i didn't do it, i miss you. i would cry at night because i couldn't talk to her, she would also cry. Now my tears have come back... again, I'm so sorry for your lose i wish god could give her back, but she will be in our hearts forever, and we need to live everyday for her and let her know we will be ok. from an old friend: J.M.
JM - March 03, 2014 at 11:19 PM
I remember the first time I met Tessa she was on a cheer team with my daughter she was always making jokes & laughing. I remember one time Tessa & my son JJ & daughter Reyna were all spinning just to see who would fall first it was so funny that they all fell at the same time. She was such a Beautiful lady on the inside as well as the outside so full of life. She will truly be missed. God bless her & her family.

I will never ever forget Tessa's amazing smile and enthusiasm for life. She always went out of her way to say hello to me when I saw her at Mt. View and Roswell High. Words cannot adequately express my sorrow. The world is not quite right without Tessa. Love, Katy Vaz

Tessa had a huge impact on me. Working Security at RHS, it is not always easy. Tessa never failed to come up, call me Gorgeous and I would call her Beautiful and then she would give me the biggest hug and make my day! She would do this every time I saw her, it could be once a day or ten times a day. She will be greatly missed!
