In memory of Audrey Ann

From Family snapshots

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of our cat, Audrey Ann, a member of our family for 18 years.

Audrey was shy amongst strangers, but quite loving with us. She cuddled with Rachel every night (the cats would take turns nestled in Rachel's armpit). She would also "tuck" me in every night (despite being settled in for the night, whenever I came to bed she'd get up, sit on my chest, purr loudly as she was pet, and then a few minutes later she would go back to where ever she was sleeping prior to my arrival).

We hold many fond memories: Toothless (yet successful) mouse hunting in Boston. Rushing to Magpie's assistance when Magpie once cried out when someone accidentally stepped on her tail. Letting out with a friendly little chirp whenever you first started to pet her. Batting playfully at a wiggling finger, but always with claws retracted.

This gentle and loving family member will be sorely missed.
