I have mentioned that my BFF has been ill for a very long time and her fight ended early yesterday morning. I'm devastated over the loss but glad she won't suffer anymore.
Lots of Hugh news helps fill my time with something happy so I'm grateful to him and this board for that.

Sue, my sympathies on the loss of your good friend. In a sad coincidence, a friend and former colleague with whom I would regularly attend theater unexpectedly passed away yesterday. It was sudden; none of our group really knew how sick he was, as he'd never let on that four months earlier he'd been diagnosed with a deadly, late-stage illness. It's saddening, but as you say, the only silver lining is that their suffering is over.

I'm not sure what is worse...not knowing & not being able to say goodbye, or months of waiting, hoping & praying but I was able to say all the things I would have wanted to say to her. After 35 years of sharing everything, my life is feeling very empty. My boys have been great and will be with me for the small service Tues so that helps too. Sue |

Sue & Ellen
My condolences on your losses. A friend's passing leaves such a hole in the lives of those who loved them. Even when expected or even desired it is sad. I hope you all will be comforted by your memories of good people.
