  Thanks for that Patti---I couldn't agree more. Belinda is 
  such a huge part of this group (as well as playing a huge part right from the 
  beginning-as a relatively new member I didn't realize that until recently 
  when James made special mention of Belinda's enormous contribution right from 
  the getgo).
  It meant and means such a lot to me--can't emphasize this 
  enough--to be able to see my kitties that had passed away given recognition on 
  the CLS list. And yes, Patti's right, it takes real dedication and strength 
  and commitment to be able to maintain the CLS list and deal with 
  all its associated sorrow, year in, year out. 
  A huge thank you from me too, Belinda. I appreciate the work 
  you do so much. Kerry
