A death in the family, Timmy by Vinchenzo the Jackal

A death in the family, my cat, Timmy, was found dead this morning. I'm shocked, and horrified, and saddened, that my cat, who was young, died today. I feel horrible.
Timmy didn't live to be old, he wasn't even 12, barely even 10. He was found in the bushes, when cats are sick and dying, they are known to hide. He was last seen by my family this Friday, and only for a short bit, he came inside, ate food, and immediately wanted outside. Today is Sunday. He normally spends most every night sleeping with me on my bed, instead, for the past week, he has tried to stay outside as much as possible, avoiding contact with me, my family, and the other cats.
As an outside inside cat, Timmy experienced the best of both worlds. He was inside whenever he wanted to and outside whenever he wanted to, he would stay inside for as many as three days at a time, and outside for as many as four days outside. He would roam the entire neighborhood, having all sorts of fun. He also loved our other cats, and would enjoy playing and eating with them. Goldy is allowed only in the backyard, and Drew and Carly are rarely allowed outside, and even then only in the backyard. Timmy enjoyed the time he had in the backyard with them, but also enjoyed he went everywhere in the neighborhood.
I will miss Timmy very VERY much. My family says they will get Timmy a gravestone. They will also be spreading the ashes of his family members Orange and Kitty with him. 'Tinker, who adopted him, had a brother and mother, Orange and Kitty, who Timmy treated as family and loved very much. It is fitting they are now all together, and are all to be located together.
This... is a very tragic day, but, I guess I must cope and learn to move on. I cried a lot over this... like I do all my pets when they die.
