Hello. I have been lurking here lately. I was here a while back, and left
for personal reasons.  I am owned by two great cats - Andy a 7 year old
long haired grey tabby, and Mary a black short haired cat of
indeterminate age.

I only wish I was coming back under better circumstances hence the purr
request. I went over to check on my Mom today as my brother was out of
town in Mexico over the weekend. I could not reach her by phone so I was
a bit worried. Well I found her after she has passed to the other side
some time on Saturday morning in her sleep. At least she went peacefully.
She had a good long life - 72 years of it. Purrs are requested for my
family it's going to be a tough time of it over the next week or so. I
most of the day today dealing with the fire dept/paramedics, medical
examiner, and the police then sorting through her financial papers/bills
etc. As well as deciding what to do over the next few days with my
brothers and the CAST worker provide by the city.

Bless you all, and I hope everything is going well.

In tears again,
Richard
