So sorry for you and your friend.
Tragic.

cupofteaplease · 26/04/2009 20:37

That is terrible. Even worse in a way that the two of them were a team for so long- she must feel very lost

Wishing strength and comfort for both of you.

How very sad ~ I really feel for you. Take care and remember to look after yourself, sounds like a few people are going to need your support but don't forget yourself too.
