Any word on the pets? Boris the white dog and Quiqui the cat.
I work for Patrick as a caregiver i went there this knowing nothing about this tragic incident i was in shock when i learned from the neighbors that Cathy and Boris died. Rest In Peace Cathy! I will visit Patrick in the hospital when it’s ready.
Can someone please let me know what’s happening? I’ve known Cathy for 17 years. This is absolutely devastating. Who was the man in the home?
Julie, it was Patrick her son
We’re neighbors, we also want to know what caused the fire as well and how come the son was on the lawn I thought I heard a neighbor dragged him out of the house?
