IN MEMORIUM

CASIE CRAIG, May 2000 - June 25, 2009

CASIE CRAIG passed away this morning after a short battle with cancer.

She was 9 years old-far too young for a sweet kitty to pass away.

Casie will be missed by all who knew her, as she truly never, ever met a

stranger, and loved everyone she met, happily jumping onto any lap and

settling there to purr.

We will miss her, lying on our chest early in the morning before dawn, just

as a reminder that she was there to love us at the start of each new day, as

well as at the end of each day when she would lie in bed next to Jackie and purr

and purr, and then, when I got home, run down the hall and bound up on my

bed, ready for bed-time treats before taking her place next to me for the night.

Her days were filled with cat naps, often on the deck in the sun, or in my chair at the table, or sitting across my “mouse” arm at the computer, and with chasing her favorite ball around the house, usually losing it under the cupboard. She tolerated well her house mates, Smokin’!, Grover, and Hairy, who will surely miss her in their own kitty sort of way.

We thank God for her all to short, but happy life, and especially for the joy and love

she brought to our home.

We would also like to thank the Drs. and staff at North Asheville Animal Hospital

for their excellent care of Casie, and their heart-felt compassion for all animals.
