Jelly came into my life in the fall of 1983, the second of seven kittens in Cinnamon and Bear's first and only litter.  Growing up is never easy but Jelly was always there, always seeming to sense when I needed his gentle nudge and soft purr.  What a sweet little soul he was!  He was friendly and loving with family and strangers alike, and showed incredible tolerance with everything from being dressed in Halloween costumes to being "hunted" by our new kitten.  He had been with me for over 20 years and the time had now come when I needed to put his needs before mine, his comfort before my own.  His beautiful little spirit will always live in my heart.  I love you so much!
