Tawny was born Nov. 20, 1986 and was called back home to eternal love and peace on Sunday, Jan. 29. Tawny was a joy in the lives of her family and friends and words cannot describe the sorrow left by her sudden departure. We all recognized the light of Christ in Tawny in so many personal experiences and encounters. Tawny had a joy of life and love for family and friends that she shared with everyone, especially through her unforgettable, contagious and beautiful smile. She loved every creature created by God and had a special bond with horses. Learning to train horses first in Maryland where her family lived in her younger years, she moved to Moody where she gifted her talents and adopted a four-legged family, Sammy, Spirit, Cheyenne, and Tink. Every creature on earth will mourn the loss of her gifts and love, and every being in heaven welcomes her radiant and beautiful soul.
Tawny is survived by her parents Roy Martin and Lynn Mayo; and her best friend and little brother, Noah. Her surviving grandparents include Roy and Josie Martin and Ireneo and Fe Mayo. Roy's and Lynn's brothers and sisters include, Rene, Wayne, and Jesse Mayo, Ron Tate, Tony and Patrick Martin.
More than anything, we wish your prayers and support for Tawny as she makes this final transition back home to God. However, for those who feel they need to make a material gift to Tawny, the family requests in lieu of sending flowers, contribute to the Tawny Martin Memorial fund at First National Bank of Moody, PO Box 128, Moody, TX 76657 or contact Melody Lightfoot at 254-744-2261.

For God Alone Psalm 62:5-7
For God �lone my soul waits in silence;
From him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;
I shall not be greatly moved.
On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
My mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart
before him; God is refuge for us.

Guest Book
Dear Martin Family,
I am the grandmother of Aaron, who lives with the Jacksons and considereds JJ his brother. I was reading through JJ's guest book when I saw the message from you to JJ's family. I knew instantly, that Tawny, like JJ, had been reared by a wonderful Christian family. I have read the many wonderful memories concerning your beautiful Tawny, and knew that both these teenagers were so special and so loved by all who knew them. You have been in my prayers from the moment...

Martin family, Corey and friends,
I wanted to wish you my sincerest condolences. I didn't know Tawny. My children and I have considered the Jackson's family for more than 16 years and we wanted to let you know that we are very sorry for your loss. Knowing that you have reached out to Johnny, Karen and Kaitlynn through your own pain and loss shows great compassion and it shows the type of individual your daughter was. I know that she and JJ will be missed but I know that they were taken...

Tawny was and is an Angel. We shared many great memories together, memories that I will never forget. Memories that I will hold dear in my heart forever. I will cherish the time that we spent together, and now that time was never enough. I was with Tawny for over a year, before God called her home and in that time that we were together, she made such an impact on my life. She showed me how I should live, which was living everyday to the fullest. I know that Tawny is happy now, and that is...

We have so many great memories of Tawny and her family. The Butterfly Foursome, Bailey, Jessica, Michelle and Tawny. All those wonderful middle school years with sleepovers. The girls up all night talking. Birthday parties. Horsebacking riding and the picnics. CCD at the Martin's home and poor Chase the only boy with all those girls. Please know that we are thinking of you at this sad time.

Hey Uncle Roy and Aunt Lynn, this is Kristy just wanted to tell you that we love you and that we are praying for you and Tawny everyday. I miss her very much and wish everyday that she was back and that we could have had more time together but we know that she is in a much better place and that she is looking down on us now with that big smile. I am sure that she has more horses up there with her than she knows what to do with. I will always remember the lake house and the long summers at...

Martin Family, We can only imagine how pained you are with this loss of your beautiful daughter. We didn't know Tawny, but from what we have read and heard of her, she was a very special person. We know that two very special angels here on earth got their wings on January 29, 2005. May God Bless You and keep you in his loving hands. Sincerely, cousins of J.J. Jackson, The Woodards
