My deepest sympathy to you. I'm so glad that you were able to take care of her. Coni was a special friend–my neighbor, a fellow cat volunteer and Mah Jongg player for many years. I will miss her and Holly very much.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Coni. I was one of the Mah-Jongg players. I am sadden that she had suffered so much. Now, she is free of pain.
