She was a loving, caring person, and a wonderful mother. She will be missed.

Against her natural inclination, ... Joyce held his large hands in hers like a caring mother. 'I'll kiss it and make it better,' she said in a soothing voice, kissing both hands. Then, more firmly: 'I think you can go to Europe now, Thelonious.' He got up and went to the airport.

There is no one I have ever known who personified more the loving, caring universal mother figure. She was always studying nutrition, child care issues ... and constantly looked for ways to better her care of either her own children or the ones she sat for.

To me she was flawless. She wants us to remember her as a caring mother, a devoted wife. She would want us to take solace in the fact that we'll see her again, somewhere, sometime.

It's hard to explain to you how we feel as cat breeders. The amount of money we've spent caring for our cats and with vet bills, we lose money every year, even with the cats that we sell. But it's a passion for people.

She was vibrant. She was stylish. She was tough. She was caring, and she will be sorely missed.
