Pat..Sorry for the loss of your friend..It leaves a big hole in your life...I lost a close friend five years ago,through prostate cancer..Was really bad watching him go down in the last few weeks,but will always remember the good times,,even if we did have the odd spat..We were still friends..And now,I have re found a few old friends,some of which,I havent seen for near 40 years..Some of them through facebook.. Its good to rekindle those old friendships..Not going to let them disappear again..
