      <![CDATA[Having known Tess for most of her life, I came to love her and cherish her as one of my own.  She could leave you wondering what adventure she may embark on next, but she always left you with a smile...<br>
I remember our long distance conversations, our romps downtown, your indomitable spirit, and I will miss you sorely and never forget you, a part of my heart will always be with you... a true tragedy and loss to us all....

      <![CDATA[Jimmy, Nintz, Et. Al.,<br>
<br>
My love & condolences to you all. Tess was interning at TW when I was doing event listings; she was always smart & down-to-earth. I last saw her last year, at the Safehouse; we yapped while waiting for our respective coffees. She said she didn't know what she was doing next, but she was looking forward to whatever it ended up being; a good philosophy for life, methinks. Thanks for that reminder, Tess.

      <![CDATA[I agree with Red Star. Tess Martinez' work was solid and she seemed to have a good career ahead of her. Having never met Tess, I hope not to be inappropriate in saying that she seemed like an independent with grit. Diving into California to cut her own path shows true spirit and strength. What a sad way to die. I have her family, friends and the fellow TW family -- including her fellow interns from that year -- in my thoughts.<br>

      <![CDATA[Tess was one of my closest friends, and I never met anyone like her. I think it's safe to say none of us will. She was usually the first person I called in a crisis, not just because she was a wonderfully sympathetic listener but because she always, always knew what to do. No one who knew her will ever forget her.

      <![CDATA[Tess was a smart and edgy young woman and dedicated journalist determined to make her own way in this world.  I supervised her when she was an intern at the Citizen, and she brought a spirit of fun to the newsroom. It's hard to believe her adventure on this planet is over. She made it a better place.
