Ebbie, I am so sad that you lost your mom. I remember the many fun times we all had together when you and I were very young. My heart breaks for you! Your mom was a very special lady and now you have your very own guardian angel. Love you.

Although I did not get to know Mrs. Bowles personally, I know that she had a special place in her heart for her cats. This world needs more people like her and she will be missed by all.
