I am very sorry about the loss of Wendy. I worry, constantly, about my own cats, who spend a lot of time out in our yard. Sometimes my husband forgets that one of them might be in the driveway, as he is coming and going, and it worries me to death that one day he will run over one, without meaning to. I hope your stepmother wouldn't purposely run over one of your family's pets, especially one that was important to you and your father.
Our friends at Pet Talk are very sympathetic in times like this. I hope you will find the support you need with us.
