To the Martin family: Tan was a beautiful woman inside and out. I have great memories of her as an adult, and many more of us growing up. She was a co- worker of my husband at Goodyear, and she was my "babysitter" when we were younger, even though she was only 3 years older. We will always remember that smile. Our family sends our love, prayers, and condolences to you all! Stephanie Hall Gravley, Tony Gravley, Dwight & Eloise Hall.

The Lord took a beautiful soul. I miss her so. My tears are Valentines for her. She endured so much pain and now is pain free. She always said, "God will take care of it." Her faith was so strong. She told me how much her church and church family meant to her. She is with her Father in Heaven now. She will be forever loved. Julia
