Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005A message from Patty re: David Yehuda - SAD NEWS
Hi group, Patty has asked me to post this to the ng. You can email Patty at: short7 [AT] netzero [DOT] com Hugs to all, Flippy. ======================================================= Dear Friends and Furkins, David passed away this afternoon of a massive heart attack. He was waiting for his grandson to get out of school when it happened. I talked with him at 12:00 noon and he was in good spirits and feeling o.k. but was dead when Mikel got to the car at 12:15. The coroner said the attack was so severe and so fast, David never had a chance to call out for help and that he did not suffer. His face was peaceful. You have been an important part of our lives, and you know how much I love him and will miss him. It would be unbearable for me if Mikel and my furkins were not here to help me deal with this. Flippy, please post this to the group for me. Would you please send me the address to access the group? I don't know how to reach anyone but you. The support Patty group is dearly needed right now. Patty :( ======================================================= Patty can be emailed at: short7 [AT] netzero [DOT] com Don't know what to say. *tears* Yowie > Hi group, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Patty can be emailed at: short7 [AT] netzero [DOT] com > Don't know what to say. > > *tears* > > Yowie I have emailed Patty and I hope all of you do too.

We all knew he had health problems, but he so seldom spoke of them, and faced them with such courage and humour it was easy to forget that the "clown prince" of rpca was not as strong as an ox.

I feel as if I have lost a great friend. I followed David here years ago from another cat newsgroup. I wanted to continue reading David's stories as they always made me laugh. He will be sorely missed. But I know David will always be with this group. I know he's in heaven cracking jokes and watching all of us. And my cats are sending huge purrs to Patty and Mikel along with my prayers. Hugs Patty. And to David, a toast. To a wonderful, kind, loving, funny, and mischievous man. You were definitely loved while here on Earth. You will be sorely missed by all.

His face was peaceful. There's nothing we can add to that which has been said already. Purrs to all who love him. SignatureCathi Right around that time yesterday I started to send a message to the group asking if anyone had heard from David lately. And didn't because I was reluctant to find out why he hadn't been around. Like many others here I loved him as much as you can love someone you don't know well. I'm going to miss opening the newsgroup and hoping to see one of his stories. He could always find a grin in about any situation. And for him, I'm relieved. He had already been through so much with his health and was so determined not to let it rule his life. If it was to be, he would have been OK with the how it was. Patty, I can imagine you in many ways. He talked about you often and with love. I can see you happy and irritated and silly and angry. But I can't see you sad. I pray that you have family and friends and furkids that will hold you close through this and keep you safe and happy.
