Dear Friends of Felines,
 
Maggie did not make it through the night.  The whole illness was very quick - beginning on Sunday with what I thought was a typical hairball.  I guess her little 17 year-old body was shutting down.  It was very sad, but she purred up until last evening.  Donna will go with me to the vet's today, so I won't be alone.  I am okay - I cried a lot yesterday.  Today seems somewhat more peaceful.
 
Take care.  Meow, Meow.  Hug a cat for me today. 
 
Love, Sue
