A few of you might have remembered my post about my elderly friend who had lung,liver,and cancer that had spread to his brain.Yesterday,after I had visited him,not less then two hours,he is gone...as I was leaving the visit,he had reached out to me with his hand and as he did this,he and I both knew
that this was our last visit together.I will miss this guy dearly......
Sounds like you got to say good bye properly at least.
RIP!
Sorry for your loss, It seems as if every time you turn around someone else is battling cancer.
This is the guy you used to take places right?
So sorry to hear about his passing. Good on you for being a friend to him. I'm sure he apreciated it. Need more people like you in the world.
I'm sorry for your loss. It sure does leave an empty space in your gut, huh? I lost my friend 10 or 11 days ago (ME isn't sure yet) and we buried him on Monday. I was a pall bearer and that was one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life. He was 24 and we believe he died from complications of diabetes. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss. Try and rest assured that he doesn't feel the pain and agony from that horrible cancer anymore.Quote:

i know how u feel man , i went to visit my bestfriend (like a brother) we have been best friends since childhood ,really really close, and last year he got died valentines day, and 4 days later on the 18th, which is my birthday we buried him on my birthday, it was the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. It hit me so hard my wife had to take to to the hospital and they had to give me pretty much like tranqulizers to calm me down and i was out of work for 2 weeks. I couldnt believe it that it had happened, we were just like hanging out tuning our cars together the day before, and the next morning his uncle is knocking at my door on valentines day at 2:30 am in the morning waking me up telling me he got in a car accident and got thrown out and landed on his head and then later that day died in the hospital. and we buried him on my birthday and i had to go up front and speak for his eulogy! Really really hard , to explain how bad it hit me , and his mom asked me to be the godfather of his baby so i am her godfather now. And after all that happend 3 months later my dad passed away, and that was way to much for me to handle, i went out there today and visited him as a matter of fact, his grave is so beautiful. So bro trust me i know how u feel man it hurts bad, i cried so hard when my best friend died, and even harder whenever my dad died!!!
i'm sorry for the losses of all of those above, my almost lost one of my uncles to a quad bipass, and my other uncle had quad bypass today.
Condolences on your loss.
yes..here he is on the left with his wife...he had a fully restored 72 chevelle wagon,that today I found out by his will,that he wants me to follow the hearse to the private burial service on Sunday.The family is having a short service for close friends and family on Saturday.It will be an honor driving his car(which he loved as we love our cars)and being right behind him to his final resting spot.Quote:

Diabetes is another disease that can put you down quick if it can't be controlled.As for empty,you hit it right on.I've had a lump in my throat the size of Texas that will not go away.You are correct in him not suffering,and I am grateful for at least him not suffering anymore.Thanks again...JimQuote:

I am sorry for your loss. Cancer has taken too many family/friends that it is sick. It is just sick...
Sorry for your loss.
May you have many blessed years.
