Kitty McNeil

[Karen]

Dear Kitty McNeil
Rest in peace
Treasured you were for 22 years
So sad to know your last Christmas
With your gathered human family
Was the beginning of the end.
Treasured, you watched the children grow
Tolerated grandchildrens' visits
Watched the family grow and change
Spoiled just a little
Loved your human momma
Dear Kitty McNeil
Rest in peace
You were loved indeed

Just a farewell for a kitty belonging to a man of my acquaintance, saw him at work today, and he apologized for being "distracted." Their 22-year-old cat was put to sleep today, its health started failing Christmas Eve. I don't know the kitty's real name, or any more about it than I've written, but I'm gonna mail this to his wife, along with the Rainbow Bridge story, as he said his wife was just shattered.

What a beautiful poem, Karen. I'm sure his wife will appreciate your gesture.

RIP Kitty McNeil. You lived a good long life and are now happily romping like a kitten at RB. :)

Have a safe journey to the rainbow bridge dear kitty. Your humans will miss you but you can watch over them from your spot in heaven and be there for their arrival when that day comes. RIP.

What a wonderful tribute to kitty McNeil. A family member of 22 years is going to be terribly missed. May God grant peace in the hearts of her family that is left behind. Until they meet again someday.

RIP little kitty McNeil. You had a good long life with your purrsons. Enjoy your new life at the Rainbow Bridge. Play hard and say hi to my sweet little Goldie who had her last Christmas with me last year at this time. Godspeed and purring love to you and your family.

Karen, I'm sure your friend's wife will be overwhelmed with the Rainbow Bridge story and the beautiful poem you wrote in tribute to her precious kitty. It is very thoughtful of you to do.

Rest in Peace Kitty McNeil.

I just have to say, that McNeil is my mothers maiden name.

I found out that I spelled it wrong, their last name is spelled MacNeill - but you could still be related - any cousins in Massachusetts? ;)
