I am so saddened to read this! I have also kept up with her story since I heard about it some time ago. You did all you could for her and it was a long hard fight. May you find comfort and peace in how much and how hard you tried, knowing you did all you could. There should be no "if only" for you to say.... You did everything in your power to give her a chance.

Thumper, you were a brave lady that fought a good fight. Now is your time to have fun and be a "cat", a healthy, playful lady with all the dignity and grace you had here on earth. I will never forget you!
