My dearest Coco,

We just lost you last night, and today has been hard. I remember finding you when I was in college on my family’s farm, and you let me pick you up immediately. I remember introducing you to my then boyfriend, and I remember moving you in with us once we got married. I remember years of you hopping on our bed to say goodnight, then hopping back on to say good morning. You always, always purred with me. You sat with me when I cried and loved on me when I was stuck in bed with depression. You grew to tolerate Chuckles the Cat when we introduced him to you, and we appreciate that. You were honestly the best cat ever, and the house feels emptier and quieter with you gone. I know it’ll get better, but right now it’s hard. We love you, Coco. I’m glad you’re not in anymore pain. 15 years of knowing you doesn’t seem long enough, but I’m just glad you’re okay and no longer in pain. We all love you, and thank you for loving us so well.

Love always,

Mama, Daddy and Chuckles
