Context: The little kitten I rescued last Friday passed away.
Speaker 1: The little kitten I rescued last Friday passed away.
Speaker 2: That is very heartbreaking. How did you find the kitten?
Speaker 1: She was under my house, crying.  Her mother had apparently abandoned her.  I called my friend who said she was dehydrated and we did what we could, but her motor functions quit and she passed away in her sleep.
Speaker 2: Very sad to hear. You have a good heart and are very caring, that is something to atleast be proud of!
Speaker 1: And that kitten knew she was loved.  It ended sad, but I take comfort in those things.
