Re: Brenda Smith
Hi everyone, I am just in shock over this. I knew Brenda's last evaluation for her heart had been fine, and I didn't know she had been ill. Brenda was a wonderful person and I will miss her very much. I got to know her from babysitting Lovey and Merry before they moved on to Wisconsin. I spoke with her on the phone several times but never got to meet her in person. I read the message earlier this week and have not really known how to react. It seems somehow strange to be so attached to someone I've ony known online or on the phone, but I was very overwhelmed with grief and can only imagine how Brenda's family must feel at this time. Brenda was truly a blessing to everyone who knew her and I will miss her. Janine, please know that you can always contact any of us for help with the cats or anything you need.

RE: Brenda Smith
Oh my I talked to Brenda last year when I was trying so hard to find a home for my Big Boy. We kind of decided to wait until the weather got better but you know how it goes--he got settled in and here he stayed. Brenda was just so kind and helpful. She had a great sense of humor and such an easy going way about her. She seemed to live every day to its fullest and absolutely adored her family, human and animal! I know that they will all miss her terribly.

Re: Brenda Smith
I don't remember Brenda posting lately, had she been having complications? I remember that harrowing trip that she and her daughter took to pick up Lovey and Merry and her talking about how well her check up had gone at the time. That was about a year ago. She was quite a lady, she will be sorely missed. I'm so sorry. I saved her poem that she wrote in tribute to felv kitties. It says so much about her. Here it is: I wrote this tribute to all feline leukemia kitties in December, 2000. It is still as true today as it was then. For all who don't know eating cheesecake means a cure has been found for Feline Leukemia. One of the long term listers wrote an email several years ago and said "when they find a cure for this disease, we will all eat cheesecake." The Best of Us a tributeby Brenda K. Smith He holds their sick bodies The creator of man In his gentle, loving hands As only He can. We question their existence How can they survive Why were they created Should they be alive? What is their purpose Their short life on earth Are they angels to guide us To grant us our worth? Do they teach us great lessons Have our lives been enriched Are these little creatures Our wise teachers in this? They leave us far richer Than when they began Our lives touched so deeply These small companions of man. We seek the great wisdom From the Holy Spirit above Why has He brought us These little angels to love. We may never know The answers we seek Why these tiny bodies Endure such pain until weak. Upon this birthday of Christ We are blessed from above By these angels of light Who have taught us such love. Their presence forever Will abide in our hearts The souls of these beings From us will not part. Some day there'll be joy Part of His master plan No more sickness to endure A well and full life span. Soon our tears will be dried Our sorrow will abate The cure WILL be found And we will eat cheesecake!

Re: Brenda Smith
Brenda lived up on Lake Superior, the far reaches of northern Wisconsin. She was a transplant patient, heart I believe - doing very well for well over a decade. The angels are very lucky to have her there and she was well met at the Bridge on her way.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Belinda, I'm shocked. What happened?
