I have a close friend that passed away 1 year ago. He was an excellent painter and i always wanted to get him to paint a picture of my kids for me. But I never made the time to ask him! Now I wish that I had!

We left a party one night and went our separate ways...he never made it home, and I was one of the last people to talk to him before he was killed..

The person that I would want to talk to who has passed away has been my uncle not so much a friend because I haven't lost a close friend yet. I would tell him that I love him and his faith has taught me so much. I would tell him no matter what he found victory in the battle with cancer because it didn't take away who he was.

thanx. Well he wasnt very old in his early 60's! He passed away after a long battle of cancer. I am more upset that I didnt ask him because Now all i have is memories I have nothing physical to remember him by. But he did inspire me to start painting again! I am a great painter but not half as good as him!

Hello. I had a friend that passed away in November from cancer. I would once again thank him and his wife for all that thay did for me when I was going through the roughest time in my life, when I was going thru a nasty divorce.He and his wife stood by me and did all they could like change my door locks,looked at my car when it was about to break down and kept my spirits up.We kept in contact thru email but his wife has since turned that account off in December.I am glad I had a chance to meet a person like him.

Thank you for sharing! It is very hard to loose a friend from anything. It would be nice if we could all thank people that have passed away for there help.

If I had a chance to say one thing, I'd tell my bff Lorenzo how sorry I am that things weren't different with us before he was killed, and how much I love him and miss him and how much he REALLY means to me. Its been almost 6 years since he was killed and still to this day I cry over him and can't help but feel guilty over the fact that I kept secrets from him about my feelings for him and kind of pushed myself away from him because of those feelings.

Wow I am sooo sorry to hear about your loss. I know that it is hard to think about but I am sure even if you did tell him how you felt then mabie it would have ruined your friendship anyway! You never know. Dont dwell on the woulda shoulda coulda never! It will only tear you apart. I know that it is hard to realize that your friend is gone adn you will never get the chance to say those things. but one day jesus will come back to this earth and you will see him again!

I have a very dear friend who passed away 3 years ago and I really missed her. She was being liked by everybody because of her good attitude and good natured. I really wished I told her how nice she was. Well, sometimes beautiful things were not really said because of too much familiarity and casualness but you got to realized how much you missed when it's too late at times.
