Patch is gone. Crying too hard to talk yet.

Tom, .......... hard to express my feelings for your loss. 'I am sorry' hardly seems adequate... but I am sorry.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Thanks everyone. Poor Cheyenne is taking it hard. They were litter mates and spent their whole lives together.

Sorry for your loss of Patch. Of course Cheyenne could not anticipate a pal not being there, but is there for you. Patch is not suffering though.
