Willie was my best friend and companion.  She was much more than a cat.  She travelled with me in the car on trips and just to get out and look around at things.  She knew when I was upset and comforted me.  She brought such joy and love into my life.  I shall always miss her.  She had the best personality and gusto.  She never needed any training on anything.  She just knew.  From the minute I took her home for the first time as a kitty, she checked the car out--and then sat on my lap and purred.  Since then we connected and knew we were lifetime companions and friends.
