Best Friend Died Today - I am beside myself

51 replies

noxmasname · 23/12/2007 22:30

I got a phone call this morning from my best friends mother in law.

He passed away this morning at 6am - I am absolutely devastated. He had been ill for a month, but not expected to die, nowhere near that poorly - it was so sudden.

He has left behind a lovely wife and an 8 year old daughter. I know there is never a good time for this to happen, but I am so upset for them at this time. God only knows how they are going to cope. My heart goes out to them.
