Grammarians,
I have a teacher who is seeking help and all of my sources have turned up empty.  
How do you create possessive forms of proper names that already contain an 
apostrophe or apostrophe -s?  For example: Tyna' and Willi's (these are 
subsitutions for names of current students - each with the correct name ending)
 
Thank you for any help you can give,

Katherine Goodnight-Click,
