I am so sorry for your loss. I only knew Adrienne as she adopted Mouse (Carol), a cat I fostered. It took a special person to see through Mouse and realize there was a good soul inside that blustery cat. Thank you for taking her into your care. I see kind hearts run in your family. I will keep you all in my thoughts

Adrienne is and will always live forever in my heart, she shaped my life, gave me courage, and encouraged me when I felt like giving up. My life without "A" will never be the same. I will miss her until the day I die, when hopefully we will be united in heaven.

P.S. For all who are worrying about Mouse the Cat, she is doing fine in Florida.

My sympathy goes out to your family at the loss of Adrienne. I was at the PetSmart in Nov. when Mouse was brought in for her maddy/peddy and was able to take a great picture of Adrienne holding Mouse. She told us about your Dad passing and how hard that has been on all of you. I can't express how sad it has been to hear that she too has passed. Those of us who know your family through the adoption of Mouse know that both Edward and Adrienne were loving and caring. May you all find peace in your hearts knowing how much others have also been affected by your loss. Thank you also for continuing to care for Mouse and giving her the love they gave to her.

We will miss Edward and Adrienne as they took a very difficult cat from our rescue group and loved her anyway even though she scratched and bit them at first. This cat had been mistreated and they knew it and they gave her the space she needed to learn to trust again. I know that one of Adrienne's sisters offered to take care of Mouse and now I know that Adrienne has a wonderful family.
Thank You so much,

Edward & Adrienne became part of our
rescue family when they adopted their
beloved Mouse. Edward was smitten w/her and had her named before they adopted her. Regular visits for Mouse's manny/peddy time were a joy with these special people. Words can't express our sadness at the loss of Edward, nor the devastation when we
learned Adrienne lost her battle. We find comfort in knowing her friend Mouse was w/her to the end and are
overjoyed that Barb and her family will continue the love with them in
Florida. Though there is sadness in the loss of two special people, there is joy for a shy, homeless calico abandoned when the O'Hare airport project decimated most of Bensenville.
Lucky Mouse found her way to a warehouse and a kind woman to feed her. A call to me about her plight got her to our vet and on the road to a forever loving life. We look forward to Barb remaining in contact with us . . they will always be part of our "family". Remember Adrienne fondly, she was a dear soul.
