In Suffolk, Virginia, the community mourns the loss of Maisie, a familiar feline fixture on Trengrouse Way. Following a devastating injury, Maisie’s owner, Linda Jenkin, made the difficult decision to euthanize her beloved pet. The news of Maisie’s passing has prompted an outpouring of support and tributes from locals, who fondly remember her presence in the neighborhood.
Expressions of sympathy and remembrance flooded social media platforms, with one resident expressing, “She was so cute. I always loved stroking her when I walked past that way, and she would meow.” Another shared, “My daughter and I used to love to watch out for her on the fence when we drove past; we used to worry when she wasn’t there.”
In a touching display of affection, the bench where Maisie often rested was adorned with flowers, letters, and drawings in her honor. Among the heartfelt messages was a poignant letter from a young boy bidding Maisie farewell: “Fly high and rest in peace. You played a part in everyone’s hearts, and as I now say my final goodbye, I ask you please, to fly high.”
Linda Jenkin expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support received from the community during this difficult time.
