I’m another who knew Tess from TikTok. I admired her courage and honesty. I’ve been disabled my whole life but I learned a lot about living with limitations from her. She made me laugh too.

My heart goes out to Tess’s family and I pray God gives you peace and comfort during this time. I will miss her. She had such a compassion for the less fortunate, sick, and chronically ill. I will never forget her.

I met Tess through TikTok, as many of us did, and we had jokes back and forth about her love of BBQ meat and me being vegan. We also laughed at how ridiculous people could be at judging each other. She was fun and sassy and I loved her comedy videos as well as her updates – she was always unapologetically herself, which is the legacy I hope she will leave to everyone – be who you are. Tess – we will miss you x

I found Tess on Ticktock , as most of us did. I was in awe of her strength, sadness, hope, and honesty. She was transparent in her daily struggle to get better or at least feel better. May she be surrounded by love and light.

You shone a light in a very dark place to help a lot of people in the CI community. I hope you find comfort in the amount of others you helped.

I followed Tess on TikTok, she was so strong and her jokes and videos never failed to put a smile on my face. She helped me feel less alone when it came to my own chronic illness. She truly was the most beautiful soul and an amazing person. She made so many people smile, laugh and feel less alone. She will be missed, sending love and my condolences to everyone
