She was born Tammy Michelle Goodwin, on May 7,1974
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She was a loving
daughter, sister, aunt, wife, and above all, a loving
mother. She also was an outstanding friend.
Her love wasn't just for people.
Tammy also had a great love for animals.
She was a volunteer for Yorkshire Terrier Rescue
Network. In doing this she fostered sometimes old,
sometimes ill, yorkies until they could be adopted.
Her love for animals didn't end there. I became
sort of a "foster mom" for some kittens, one of
which had been dropped to the ground by a hawk.
This poor kitten struggled to survive, but to no
avail. One evening I called Tammy to tell her that
this one kitten was not going to make it. Within
minutes, Tammy was at my house, and the desicion
was made to put the kitten to sleep. Without
hesitation Tammy and my two oldest daughters took
the kitten to the vet, while I kept our eight year
old daughters with me. Tammy brought the kitten
home to be burried in her backyard. That is only
one of many stories about Tammy's love and
kindness. No matter what the situation, Tammy was
always willing to help a friend or animal for that
matter who was in need. Tammy was more like a
sister than a friend to me. Rarely do we meet
someone in our lives that instantly becomes our
friend and soon becomes a part of our family,
however, Tammy was just that kind of person.Her
daughter Taylor was a big part of our lives as
well. Tammy ended her life on May 16, 2002 just
hours before Taylor came home from school. When
Taylor arrived home that day, a fireman told her
to go to her friend Amanda's house. With us is
where Taylor stayed until Tammy's family arrived
from out of state. It was a very difficult time
for all of us, and though Taylor had many
questions, and cried lots of tears, she is the
reason that myself and my daughters got through
this terrible experience. Tammy loved and collected angels,
and now she is an angel herself. I know that she
is in heaven watching over us. We love and miss
you Tammy.
