This is a page we haven't needed to place but inside we both knew one day the sad time would come. As you all know being a breeder we all deal in life and death it is the sad part of life that death comes one day to all, but it is still so very hard to deal with.


IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS WE BRING TO EVERYONES ATTENTION
THE PASSING OF;

PASSING OF;
GERTRUDE LACROIX of the CATTA CATTERY.

Gertrude was a great friend who we always looked forward to see in Quebec. Some of you may remember Gertrude as being the breeder who produced the very beautiful GC. CATTA YODA. Or perhaps they remember her being mentioned in the Summer 1995 issue of Cat Tracks, on page 36, in an articule titled, HOW ABOUT THOSE STRIPES, by Rowe Ann Durant. It is a great loss to the Canadian Cat Fancy where she played a major role as a breeder and a member of the Quebec Metropolitain Cat Club, and to the Himalayan world where she played a major role with the Lynx points. Gertrude died on June, 2, 2009, of a heart attack at the age of 79. She gave many years to her love of the beautiful Lynx points. It is so very hard to believe she is gone we spoke only days earlier to tell her we would see her in October at her show in Quebec City, she was so happy with that news. We will miss you dear friend you'll be in our hearts forever. Our mind is at peace knowing you'll be with your YODA that you've missed so very long. Good Bye our dear sweet friend rest in peace with your sweet Yoda.

Here is GERTRUDE and her lovely YODA lost so many years earlier in a bad house fire

Kay Hughes, owner of the great cattery Kaze Khyber; Kay died on Aug, 26, 2009 and was burried on the 29th. at the age of 83 She was a great friend of mine many years ago. Kay was a very important figure of the Canadian cat fancy and the Himalayan world. Kay was a very important producer of top Lynx points. She was a very important player in promoteing the beautiful Lynx points. Kay deserves so much respect of all Himalayan breeders for her great work in the history of the Lynx points. It is a sad day indeed with her passing she should never be forgotten.

Memorial; l remember when Michelle after judgeing Meggie, told me that she hoped 
l was planning on breeding Meggie becuase of her big open eyes.  Well l'm sure your smieling 
from above as our first grand champion is the grand daughter to Meggie and yes she has her
 eyes.  It would of been so wonderful to have you judge Goldie, but l'm sure your looking down on the 
cat fancy you loved so much.
