Well, take care of yourself, FRiend. We all lose friends unexpectedly. It always comes as a terrible shock which we have to absorb in any way we can and still go on. But go on, we do!
I have not up till now had any losses of close friends, and I dread the possibility that I may eventually see more in the future, but I thank you for kind words and your good advice in how to deal with it.
You take care, and I'm sure we'll meet on more threads in the future!
