Lillian May Erickson 1998-2015

 
On Wednesday, April 15th, 2015 our sweet Lillian May
climbed the stairway to heaven. She was 17 years old!
This sweet girl was an angel cat.
She always knew when you needed comfort
and love. She would lick your face or put a paw on your cheek
to let you know...I am here for you.
I have never had such a beautiful and loving pet.
She was the greatest gift to our family.
Her nicknames were Lilly and Biddy. She was most
commonly called Biddy. I don't know why. It just fit.
Like a dog, she would meet us at the door when we came home.
Tail wagging and patiently waiting for us to pick her up.
She would snuggle in your lap if you sat down. Didn't
matter if you were a stranger. If you had a lap, she
wanted to be in it. She never really meowed like other cats.
She would look at you and open her mouth and utter a breathy
"Meh-eh" sound. It always made me smile and warmed my heart.
 She loved to sit outside on the deck and roam the back yard.
She never roamed into the neighbor's yards. I guess she knew she
had a good and safe home! As age often does, arthritis got
the best of her and she became quite lame. I would
carry her everywhere! It was the hardest thing to let her go.
But I know that she is running with her sister (Abby)
in heaven now. So until I get there, she'll be in good
company. Love you forever, Lilly!
My angel cat!
Meh-eh!
