OLD FRIEND

Wally
August 1983 - March 28, 1999
Wally was a dear, old friend who lived with us for nearly 16 years.  He had cancer of the jaw.  He eventually lost his lower jaw, but was able to lap kitten formula until the day prior to his death.  He never told us he was ready to leave.  He continued to purr and jump up in someone's lap.  He became very weak.  When it was inevitable that he would die, the whole family sat with him outside on the steps.  (He loved going outdoors).  He was surrounded by his family when he took his last breath.  Now he will join Willie, our first cat.  We lost Willie November 1997 to cancer also.

Willie
June 1983- November 1997

The two are now reunited and waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
