God blessed you with a great friend, we should all have such friendships. You will always have wonderful memories of Rick. He is waiting for you when it pleases God to call you too.

I still have my very best friend, Cole. Have known him since childhood.
Your post makes me want to go see him and give him the biggest hug ever.
God bless.

Thinking about you.

Fill us with Your Spirit, O God, that we may be confident of Your grace and mercy. Empower us to submit to Your will, for we know that You know what is best for us. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
To: Rebelbase
I'm sorry Rebelbase- losing a friend is tough. I've lost a few who weren't even my closest friends and it hurts. Please give my condolences to Rick's family- will pray for all of you.

May I offer my deepest sympathies that the brother of your heart has passed on. At this time, I know, the reassurance that it is only a temporary parting doesn't bring much comfort, Jesus wept.
To: Rebelbase
Please allow me to express my sympathy and offer condolences.
"Blessed be they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."

My heart hurts for you for the loss of your friend. I experienced a similar loss just a few years ago when a long time friend passed at the age of 40. It had been much the same with us. Just the night before we'd been on the phone talking about
Unsolved Mysteries and just a few days prior to that we'd been singing together. She had been doing some decorating and fell from a ladder. She thought nothing of it. 3 days later, she collapsed in the shower. She was able to call 911. She had no heartbeat when the paramedics arrived. She was revived once only to succumb again, dying alone in the hospital. I was the first one to find out because they couldn't reach anyone in her family. As it turned out, she had ruptured her spleen in the fall and didn't know it. I was devastated.
Like you said, you just never know. I know that she too is with the Lord and that is a comfort. But the grief and the emptiness of losing someone so close and so special does not heal quickly. I pray that the Lord will be close to you through this difficult time.

It's more difficult for those of us left behind.
I've heard death is only an illusion, which is only fueled by our own beliefs and states of consciousness. On some level, he's still lipsynching, just as he was when you last saw him...
To: Rebelbase
He is in the arms of the angels
To: Rebelbase
He was 33? So young to go so quick, you know he lives longer now that he has met so many new friends; cry now, laugh when you're tired from the crying, you can still play together in the bandstand of your mind; you received the greatest gift God has to give, the love and trust of another.
To: Rebelbase
I am sorry to hear about your loss.
May God Welcome him Home and comfort his family and friends.
To: Rebelbase
I lost my older boy, several years ago, at age 15, to leukemia...but his immediate cause of death was also a cerebral hemorrhage, caused by his leukemia...it was a great shock and trauma..
Its always difficult to lose someone you love...their death numbs you, and sends you into shock and disbelief...
But the Lord is there, to comfort you, and He is there to hold your friend...Its easy to trust God when your life is going along happily...but when things go badly, sometimes is when we need God the most, and He is assuredly there to help us...
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend, and I will pray that his friends and his family will find comfort in the Lord and his promise of everlasting life...take care, and God bless you..
To: Rebelbase
My sincerest sympathies are with you. God has called him home to watch over you on a different level and with more love and hope than ever before.
Kindest regards, Alkhin
