Dear Bonnie,

How terrible; first the blow of the diagnosis and then the reaction to the treatment. I know how heavy your heart must be. She certainly had a wonderful life with you and it's obvious you have many treasured memories. I'm sure that Philippe was waiting for her and one of her headbutts that he'd been missing. Take care of youself.

They all sound so adorable, you must miss them all so much--the image of

They are together and they are very grateful for your 
love. In a few days, aftersome of the shock has dulled, ask them to 
come to you in your dreams..then let them in. When you close your eyes 
each night, be open to them visiting. When the time is right, they will 
visit you. Don't be afraid and don't be in a hurry to wake 
up..enjoy their visit and ask them to come again. The visits will 
not make the pain of losing them go away but it will let you know that they are 
happy and carefree and healthy and very much appreciate everything you did for 
them and for all the other cats and other animals you have helped. They 
will fill your heart with their love.you just have to let them.
