This little kitty is becoming a regular visitor, it seems. When I saw him in Laura's arms, I ran for the camera!

(Note of November 21, 2003:)

Laura cradling this tiny orange tabby cat exemplifies the cuddly softness of her embrace. How good it felt to be in those arms, both strong and gentle. Her large hands could caress with the tenderest touch. I miss my soft hearted Laura!

I was glad our friends here in Yuma got to know her before she passed on in July of 2002. Their friendship and community have meant a great deal.
