Posted on: Tuesday, May 30, 2023Dear Norm & Tavish,
Our condolences to you both. So glad Kathy is no longer suffering. She was a brave, determined lady. We always liked our chats at Snuggles with you both. I’m sure there is a great sense of loss but also sure there is contentment knowing Kathy made her choice on her terms. How wonderful to know there are other families filled with joy and giving thanks due to her kindness. Wishing you warm memories in the days ahead.
Fondly, Jan & Parri and Charlie the dog.
