Slain spa workers and customers mourned by families
Associated PressATLANTA — Mothers, grandmothers and a brother. “That’s enough.” —— An entrepreneur who built multiple businesses after arriving in the United States knowing little about the country, Xiaojie “Emily” Tan is remembered for being devoted to her work and her family. “Even when we got divorced, she’d say that: ‘We family.’ Because that’s how she was.” ___ Paul Andre Michels owned a business installing security systems, a trade he learned after moving to the Atlanta area more than 25 years ago. “From what I understand, he was at the spa that day doing some work for them,” said Michels’ younger brother, John Michels of Commerce, Michigan. “As you can imagine, he’s totally destroyed, without strength, doesn’t want to talk with anybody,” said Acosta, who added that he had spoken twice with Yaun’s husband since the shootings.
