It is with many tears I write this to tell you my dearest Boo has died. Memorial Day (05/29/06) was her last day on earth.

She had been sick for a few weeks. Massive lung infection and FIP in dry form. We tried everything , her vet Jim and I. The night before (5-28-06) she spent on our enclosed back porch where she was so happy. She loved it out there and would spend hours there.

She had all the things she really loved to eat. And her sister Baby and her friend Binky took turns watching over her all night out there. I think they all knew it was near the end, as did my dearest Boo.

Today after I gave her meds to her, her breathing became so horribly bad I had no choice but to bring her to the ER. She would never get in a carrier by herself, however today her head lowered and tail down, just about making it, she went into the carrier herself. It was heartbreaking.

Dr. Z, (nickname) who is such a lovely vet was on. He took a chest xray I requested. When he showed me and I knew there was no hope after seeing it. And her system was shutting down already. Now she was in the state of collapse.

I was there with her when she passed. Hugged and kissed her and held her right up to the end.The last words she heard were "I love you my dear Boo and it's ok now to go."

Boo knew it was ok to go then and drew her last breath. She died very peacefully. She knew too she would have Poddy, her sister Watty and many good kitties I have had pass and my mom and dad waiting for her on the other side.

I am devastated to say the least. Boo was my girl.....I miss you dearest Boo.....

June 12th I picked up my dear Boo's ashes and they rest now with my sweet Poddy and Boo's sister dear Watty.

You are not gone my Boo, just in a better place and one day I will see you and my other kitties when I go HOME. In the meantime dear girl have fun and enjoy your new life. It was a privilege to have had the honor of being your meowmie for 4 years, 10 months, 3 weeks and one day, (Boo would have been 5 years old on July 7th, 2006). You will always be my dearest Boo and I know you and Poddy and your sister Watty are our guardian angels watching over all of us.

Love and purrs,

Baby, Binky, Mr. S'more's, Mr. Mau Tse Cat, Boink and your meowmie Frannie.

When my life is done
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles
When my life is done

I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days

I'd like the tears of those who grieve
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When my life is done
