♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin was murdered on the 19th of May 2008 just three weeks after her 25th
Birthday which should have been a very important exciting time and stepping stone in her life.
Tamzin had just inherited a very large sum of money on her 25th Birthday but due to the actions of
her uncle & aunt the money was delayed and the part received before her death only cleared
Tamzin’s bank when she died. The rest of Tamzin’s inheritance from her grandmother was never
received due to the actions of her evil uncle & aunt and still remain to this date May 2009
outstanding. Due to this Tamzin could not pay her murderer the extremely large sum he demanded (many
tens of thousands of pounds) which doubled each week it was late. This money was to be paid on
Tamzin’s birthday to finally leave Tamzin & our family alone after the six years of violence,
death threats and previous murder attempts. ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Horses and ponies were what Tamzin’s life was all about and Tamzin had
just purchased further miniatures for her breeding program and had planned to purchase more. We had
just given Tamzin three fields for her ponies and she had bought a new trailer for them days before
she was murdered. Tamzin had setup her own prefix and had registered with estate agents as she had
planned to purchase her own land for her stud.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ One of Tamzin's mares was due to foal a few days after she died. Tamzin was
looking forward so much to this foal being born as it was from two blood lines she knew would
produce a wonderful result. This was to be her first foal under her own prefix. The foal was born a
week after Tamzin died and has now been named Tribute (as a tribute to Tamzin).♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ


♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin grew up with horses all around her. She started riding when she was
just 18 months old in a basket saddle on the Shetland pony we bought for her, who is still going
strong and is now 41 years old.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin worked as a competition groom in the Leicester / Melton area which
was a job she enjoyed very much and she also enjoyed meeting some of the most famous names in the
horse jumping world. Tamzin twice enrolled at Moulton College to gain qualifications to further her
career in the equine industry. She made many friends who all had the same intense love of horses as
Tamzin did. She was always friendly and full of fun and just wanted to enjoy life as much as she
could.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin loved her ponies with all her heart and had planned to setup a
school specialising in riding for the disabled so she could help unfortunate children and give
something back to the community. She researched this project to its full extent as this was
extremely important to her as she wanted to see the fun and enjoyment the ponies would give disabled
children and help them overcome disabilities with the therapy that the ponies gave.♥
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin was an extremely talented girl who would fight to the bitter end in
what she believed in. When Tamzin put her mind to something she could make it happen with her shear
grit and determination!♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin has left behind her mother Dorothy, father Michael, brother Mark,
sister Yasan and her miniature horses who all miss her very much. We are desperately trying to come
to terms with Tamzin's murder. Her sister Yasan was expecting her first baby in December 2008 and
Tamzin was looking forward to becoming an aunt. She had so many plans, all of which were easily
obtainable with her talent and enthusiasm.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ In Hand showing of ponies was one of Tamzin’s most enjoyable interests
which she was extremely successful at throughout her life. At the tender age of 15, Tamzin had won
many, many championships and at the 1998 UK-USA horse show Tamzin beat all the other 770 horses
winning the champion of all champions in the show. Tamzin showed the miniatures all over Britain and
won championship after championship (some of the cups and trophies can be seen on Michael Spalding's
garden). When we left the show grounds in our horsebox we would always play “We are the
Champions” by Queen (the song playing now) at full volume and all the family, friends and helpers
in the horsebox would sing along at the top of our voices celebrating that we had won the
championships again! Tamzin had a lovely rare talent with ponies and will be deeply missed by the
Equine fraternity, her animals, her family and all her many friends.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Two days before Tamzin was murdered; she rescued a stray cat and named him
Socks as he has four white socks. He now lives happily with us and constantly reminds us of Tamzin's
love for all animals.♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ We miss our daughter more than words can describe; her happy smiling face,
funny laugh and her fantastic ability to make friends and enjoy life wherever she was.♥
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Rest in Peace Tamzin, we know you are watching over and looking after us.
You are in our thoughts all the time, we will never ever forget you Tamzin and we will treasure your
memory for the rest of our lives! ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ Tamzin is also featured on the family website for the Tanzivan Stud when
she was younger. http://www.spotted-pony.com ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥. The day after the first anniversary of Tamzin’s death I was feeling
rather tearful while looking after all of our & Tamzin’s ponies. It was 10:30 at night with a
clear evening sky with the stars showing. While looking up I said in a loud voice “Where are you
Tamzin, which star are you?” at that precise moment a shooting star appeared and quickly shot
across the night sky. This reassured me that Tamzin heard me and was ok in heavens garden. This has
given me such a wonderful feeling as what better way could Tamzin's spirit have answered my
question?” ♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥

Its cold up here

Hi Tamzin
A wee note to you from us up here in Scotland, although we never met I feel that we should have I know from knowing your Dad we would have had some bloody good laughs.
Meeting your horses and seeing the truly magic life you led was an experience I myself and my dear mum will never forget, a truly beautiful person I see you are with all the hard work and love you put into what you loved doing, if only the world had more love in it like you have then what a wonderful place it would be, although we do have a wonderful world I cant help but feel you make it that bit more special.

We have your friend up here with us now and that would be Rosie, she has settled in here wonderfully and has really brought us back together as a family as for many years we all lived so far apart, so you see your love and care still reigns over many people and I think it will for a long long time....Once I sus this site out I have a picture of Rosie for you all be it I use computers everyday I can be a bit slow on the uptake with these things, it has taken me 3 hours to type this to you...ha ha

I remember when I was only 5 years old and your brother Mark was 7, we used to play by the pool in your garden which is now full of fish, (careful Mike I am a keen fishermen all be it have never caught anything ha ha), but I do remember stretching out over the pool trying to reach a football we were playing with and I bloody fell in Mark sprinted up the garden for help whilst I did the most peculiar swimming stroke in the pool I think they called it sinking..but alas I pulled my self out, the funny thing was though I had no idea it was at your house until we visited you all last month and then the memories just came flooding back, some fantastic memories and I always remember your mum and my mum laughing all the time, such a happy house to be in you have a wonderful family.

There will be a time in the near future I will be down to visit again and will look forward to it, both my mum and I had a great time visiting last month and would really like to see you all again, and perhaps Rosie will come with us...she is a great dog and a credit to you all she is a big softy....bless her.

I see at the top of this note it says no more that 3500 words and I have lost count now but hey I will be back with more pictures and stories for you in the near future.

God bless you Tamzin and all that is yours,

All our love to you

Cam my mum, Rosie and my brothers which by the way are huge, Im the eldest at 6 foot 2 and they are 9 years younger than me and nearly 6 foot 3, and our mum is tiny...work that one out.

Take care and God Bless you all.

IN EVERY LIFE

In every life there comes a time,
To walk in shadows and sunlight,
To hear silence and song,
To shed tears of sadness and joy,
To forget what has been taken,
And remember what has been given.

TAMZIN WE MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Your life was love and labour, your love for your family true, you did your best for all of us we will always remember you. We did not see you close your eyes, we did not see you die, all we knew that you were gone, without a last goodbye. Your life was one of kindly deeds, sincere and true in heart and mind a helping hand for others needs, wonderful memories left behind. Your life touched so many others and will be remebered forever more, to leave the world a better place, than it had been before. Now your resting place we visit, we place some flowers with care, but no-one knows the heartache when we turn and leave you there.

THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY BUSY DAY FOR ME

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

If I Knew

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

This Tribute Is For Friday Got Busy Day Tomorrow


Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever


If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me

Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turns to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...



Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.

Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon

Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,

A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
