I'm so sorry for your loss. Sadie was up at my lake house so many times with our mutual friends. She gave me a big picture of a cat and it hangs in my entrance hall up there. Also she was my roommate on a trip out to California some years ago and we had a great time. Rest in peace my dear Sadie, I will miss you
