This lovely girl is Miss Nola. She lived in a small paradise called Cape Cod with my dear friend Anita and her husband Dave.
She was a good mommy cat to Zydeco and Spike. 
They wandered through her gardens above the beach and marshes, running and playing with delight for many seasons. Early this year, in the Winter of her fullfilled life, Nola went to be with her two kittens.
Much loved and deeply missed, she will never be forgotten.
I do not know who wrote this poetry, but I'd love to use it here.
~~~For Nola and Anita~~~
If I go away
What would still remain of me?
The ghost within your eyes?
The whisper in your sighs?
You see...Believe
And I'm always there
Karla, What a wonderful surprise I had this morning!! Suddenly before my eyes was Nola! Oh my friend, Dave and I both cried. Our girls being seen by people all over the world. And such a lovely poem. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.
Still teary eyed,
Anita

that's beautifully sweet!
do you remember dear abby columns about 'pennies from heaven'? how when we find a penny on the ground we can think of it as a greeting from the other side?
in the past month, i've found nickels, dimes and quarters...and a few pennies. it's usually the higher amounts, though. i hope suzanne's doing well across the bridge as she sends me these little greetings.
Very sweet, Miss Peach. :) It sounds like Nola was a wonderful cat.
What a pretty poem, very sad and beautiful. Ms Nola and her kittens were fabulous and gorgeous. We are always teary eyed when our kitty friends leave us.
Purrs and Loves
Oh Miss Peach, Thank-you so much!! What a wonderful surprise to see our girls on your blog. And a lovely poem, too. You are sweet to have thought of them. Thank-you again.
Nola looked like she was a wonderful kitty! I live with 2 calicos and they are very special girls too!
Miss Nola sure was a beauty! And it looks like she had a very happy life. You are nice to post this tribute for her. I love reading about other cats.
Ohhhh, that's a beautiful poem, it left be breathless, so haunting and so full of feeling.
What a beautiful cat Miss Nola was, and what a lovely tribute to her, sweet Miss Peach.
*giggle*, I brought a diamond necklace for my part in the story, but it turned out it wasn't needed. Ah well, perhaps my next role *smile*!
Purrs and snuggles from your loving sister,
Marilyn.
