I’m really sorry to hear this very sad news, Kelvin. What a lovely tribute to her. The purring will never cease…
I am so sorry, Kelvin. It is dreadful when beloved creatures die. I hope your flat is not unbearably empty without your Tilly.
A cat who can vault over a dressed chalice really does deserve some kind of veneration.
Such a moving tribute.
[…] Meanwhile, sympathy to Kevin Holdsworth who is mourning the loss of Tilly. […]
What a wonderful obit for Tilly. I have never met Kevin or Tilly, but I applaud your strength in writing this lovely piece for all to share. I am a pet bereavement counsellor, and really believe that much good comes from us feeling able to express our grief for our lost animals, in whichever way we feel we can manage. It is also very heartening to read such a piece on a Church-related site. Bless you both.
If Tilly’s obituary is anything to go by her memory will, in the days, weeks and months to come provide you with in exhaustable supply of stories to share with others ~ both those who knew her and those who meet her through the retelling of your stories. My sympathy to you in your loss ~ one that is shared by many others who have lost beloved pets and companions.
Dear Kelvin,
Deeply moved by your piece. Miss Tilly has left light for all of us who care about the SEC. Our dear friends , Emmy, Joshua, Mc Bean, Batty and most of all Caspar live on in us, and Mrs Tilly will be purring not far away always I am sure.
Mrs Tilly, risen in glory.
Beautifully written – sad and uplifting. What a lovely picture of her. Cute nose too.

I’m almost tempted to swap cathedrals……. should enjoyment of the Provost’s blog be a consideration when choosing one’s place of worship?
"Keep your eyes open when you are praying" is one of the first things that I teach people about prayer. How else can you see your prayers being answered?Thus, the gathered company witnessed the blessing of the best Easter fire ever seen in B of A. As I blessed, the fire billowed up and was…
Part of my own liturgy of life is to listen to Zelenka’s Lamentations of Jeremiah on Good Friday. Parts of the music were written for this day, and the achingly beautiful laments move me every year.I was troubled later in the day to hear of the knife attacks on Christians worshipping in Coptic churches in…
Maundy Thursday is such a strange mixture of frenzy and stillness. The frenzy of stripping the altar – the stillness of the watch in Gethsemene afterwards.Our altar of repose looked very beautiful this year. White tulips just on the cusp of their sadness, a spray of white and a single lilly head next to Himself.…
I know that it goes against the grain to look to a PR company for your Holy Week devotions, but if you have not already seen them, take a look at the Stations of the Cross on this website:http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/8/prweb274092.htmI did mention them a while ago, but it is worth coming back to them and having…
