Goodbye Quark

After having been with us for 11 years and three months, one of our two cats(Quark) wandered off some 18 or 19 days ago. We received word yesterday that he was found - dead - on the 10th of March, so I guess it didn't take him long to go.
  
We would have liked to have him around for a little while longer, but I guess as the Great Kurt Vonnegut said; 'So it goes'.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the sky

as if you are there watching, somehow you hear every word

You were with us for a while, it was such a short time

But we told you we loved you, hoping somehow you heard

We hope you heard.
