I am so very sad & Heart broken. I have a very good friend that I really loved. He did so much for me over the years.He was sick for about a year.As a matter of fact When he first got sick it was at my house, he was cutting trees doun for me in the summer heat, and he fell out on my porch!! When I had no heat in my house, he came and put his space heater in for me to heat my house,When I was having problems, he got me a gun for protection, I could go on & on!! I did not call him for about 2 months.( I am very ashamed of my self)Come to find out He passed away from liver cancer. I found out 4 days after he was buried!! I am having a very hard time dealing with this. Had I gone to his funeral I could have went through the grieving process naturally.I am so sorry I was not there for my dear friend when he needed me the most. I pray that the Lord will never allow me to neglect any of my other friends this way again. True friends are very hard to come by in this day and time..I miss my Dear friend "PETE" He was an Angel to me.

Thank you so much, This is what friends are for. That is how my friend Pete always was too until he got so sick.But He got to where he could got get around by hissel any longer, and I could not go to his house because he had a live in girlfriend taking care of him.She hated me, she was so jealous of me, I could not even hardly call him because she would answer his phone.It was very hard for me to stay in touch with him..

I pray to God that nobody has to go through what Joyfulone and I have had to go through.In my case, I am indeed at fault.We need to stay closley in touch with our friends, we never know what tomorrow holds for any of us.Tomorrow is not guarenteed to anyone.And I really loved this mane even more than a friend if there is such a thing!!Not a day goes by that I do not think about Pete. He passed away June the 6th.But he was 70 years old, and it is true too we really should check on the elderly more.My heart is truly broken.

Awwwwww, that's so sad sunkissed. My heart goes out to you losing your friend like that. To answer the question, yes, I have had a great friend die and I didn't know it. I have an elderly friend who I grew up with, her mother and my grandmother were best friends. Very smart lady, a Dr & professor of Chemistry in a well known University. She now lived far enough away (after retirement) that we only got together through emails, and we chatted regularly this way for years. I haven't had an email from her for the past month and was wondering what happened to her. I ran into one of her family members today while I was doing my banking today and found out that she had passed away last week, and had been fighting cancer for the past month. (She was taken very quickly.) My heart is sad today while I am remembering all the friendship and wonderful things that we did together. Here's to your fond memories of Pete, and mine of my dear friend Carolyn....

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! True friends are a treasure, and loosing even one can be devastating. Please think about this though: everything happens for a reason, and it's usually to teach us a lesson. Your lesson here may have been to keep in closer touch with the people you care about, because you never know if you will see them again! Another thing to think about is the idea that we all know each other before we come to this life. We make agreements as to how we will help each other learn these lessons. It may be that your friend needed to learn to help without asking (or expecting) anything in return. It was his mission to help you, it may have been your mission to learn how to accept that help. Try not to feel too badly about his passing -- he knows how you feel, now that he's truly free!
