Tess Elizabeth Nicholson died peacefully on Sept. 7, 2021, after a long and difficult struggle with chronic illness.

Tess, affectionately known as Tessy, was the youngest of three children born Dec. 22, 1991, to local physician Dr. Lester Nicholson (Berlin, North Conway and Westboro, N.H.) and Melissa (Garvey) Nicholson (co-founder of Mountain Top Music Center).

Rest in Love, beautiful soul. May you fly free into whatever adventure is waiting for you. Tess showed so many of us how to be so beautifully human, that there is humor in everything, how to stand up for and advocate for ourselves, and how to live in absolute grace and gentleness. Tess opened her life to strangers to educate, advocate and help others. She was loved, respected, and has truly left a hole in the fabric of this world with her passing beyond the veil. We speak your name, Tess, into the Universe. Your life and your legacy lives on, and we will remember you each day as we strive to become more enlightened beings, in your honor. We shoulder the grief alongside all who loved her, and collectively all send ripples into the ether for generations to come as we continue to engage in love just how Tess taught us all. What is remembered, lives on.
