Jan, don't know whom you've lost but believe me when I say that there is NO one here has not felt that terrible gut wrenching loss as some one that we've loved and cared for has been ripped from our lives. A part of us dies with them. All my childhood friends have died, Joe from first grade, Rick, from the 6th grade and Ray, my riding buddy for 20 years have all passed. Relatives, Mom, Dad, Uncles, and Aunts my wife, all are part of the ages now. Everyone else is on the Wall.
I know it doesn't help any and I know that there are no words but they are all we have. Mayhap they will wait and take a pull at the Hellhorn til it is our turn to join them. The very very sad truth of this word is simple in its terribleness: Nothing Lasts....

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Losing a friend sucks to the bone. Makes you feel alone with unfinished stories. Hope you can give it a place in time.

My deepest condolences. I know how it feels. Have lost so many family members and friends over the years. Hope you can find solace in the life he did have time to lead and the good times you spent together. That always helps me.

Sorry to hear that a friend has passed, Jan.
But they're never truly gone as long as you keep their memories alive.
