  • Pat Pryce says:

    So sorry to hear of the passing of Tessa. I knew Tessa in the 70’s/80’s when we came to this part of Canada after emigrating from the U.K. She was a lovely person and a brilliant hairdresser, she always made each client feel “special”. She moved to Kelowna and I heard that she was happy living there with her new partner. Tessa always looked “a million dollars” with her dress and style. I will remember her smile and her friendship with affection. Rest in peace Tessa… from Pat Pryce.

  • Joanne and Jamie Austin says:

    Dear John and family,
    Jamie and I were so sorry to hear of Tessa’s passing- she fought hard for so long. We were friends and neighbours up at Gallaghers and Tessa always gave the best haircuts to both Jamie and I when she had her shop in her houses and also downtown. She had such a sunny personality and I loved doing lunch with her- at your lovely home too, John. She was so happy in her life with you. It’s not fair that she should be taken so early. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
