Diane and Gail,
I haven't been able to participate in the list and I just saw your post
about having to let Patches go. I'm so sorry. I know you were hoping
for a miracle to turn his illness around. Please remember that you
already shared a miracle the day you all found each other. You resc
Diane, I'm so sorry to hear your news!! He was very lucky to have you and Gail to do all you could for him. Bless you for loving him. I will be thinking of and praying for both of you...and sending wishes for a peaceful crossing to Patches. Hugs, MJDiane Rosenfeldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Title: Message
My
condolences to you and Gail, Diane. Patches was obviously a much-loved kitty.
I'm glad he found you when he did and was able to turn his life around and
know what it was to be cherished. hugs, Kerry
