    Tessa will be missed and was a lovely person. She and Tom were friends. Fred went to Penn State with Tom and they both served in the Navy. We shared cruises and visits with them over the years. Sad to see her pass away.

    Dear All,
    How sorry I was to hear this news from the UK. I’m Barbara Helm’s son Jonathan. I had met Tessa on a few occasions on her trips to Manchester, my Mum adored Tessa as one of her family and they kept in touch regularly. Mum passed away last year but today I send lots of love and memories to all the family. Xx

    We are very sorry to hear of Tessa’s passing . We saw her a few times over the years when she visited Manchester. I will always remember how warm she was and her lovely smile. As Jonathan said Mum adored Tessa and I have recently seen a few photos of them both as little girls in Manchester as I have been looking through family albums.
    We will be watching the service tomorrow and send you all our deepest sympathy.
    Jane Louise & Thomas Connor
