My best friend from childhood was told he had Cancer about 3 weeks ago and that it was spreading very fast thoughout his system. He died last nite. He was also the best man at my wedding and we remained friends for about 70 yrs. Just had to talk to someone to make me wonder about life. Thanks for letting me tell you.
Jim, I'm indeed sorry to hear that. I'll think good thoughts about him.

Jim,
I lost a friend 1 1/2 yrs ago to cancer. Hers was not treatable and was in every major organ by the time she was diagnosed. I think about her all the time and still can't believe she is gone. It is so crazy how some people never get cancer, some get it and beat it, and some don't get a lot of time to think about it before it gets them. I hope that your good memories of him will ease your sorrow.

I really hope that the amazing memories you have gathered over such a long term friendship helps you through this.

Jim,
"Friends for 70 yrs". That statement alone says a lot.
Jim - I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your friend of 70 years. Life is so precious and it hurts to lose someone who's been such a good friend over the years. I hope that you and his family can comfort each other and cherish the happy memories of your time together.
l home today and only one of my Buddys sons knew who I was. The others asked and then stared in disbelief.. I guess 80 lbs , a Turkey neck and no teeth or tongue must show up. LOL I did get to talk to a lot of them I haven't seen in a few years so it was an OK type of day.
Jim, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Cancer just sucks!! I come to the forum with mixed emotion. I am so sad to hear stories like these. But I also need the support from others who understand what I go through everyday.
Hi Jim, this came just 1 day after my moms passing. Even though he wasnt techinically family, Im sure it felt like your friend was. 70 years of friendship is priceless and irreplaceable.
You and your friends family are in my thoughts
I hope that he was able to pass with family and friends peacefully
Jim- Must have been a big hit for you. Sounds like a wonderful guy. Its hard losing our dearest friends. It just leaves a void. 70 years of memories is a lot to cherish though.
So sorry- I know it must be very sad for yo right now.
Big Hug to you EZ! I hope one day they will find a cute for cancer.
Jim, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's passing. After 70 years of friendship I'm sure it was like losing part of you. My Dad has had his best friend for almost 66 years now - he introduced my parents to each other and I know how close they are. Please cherish those many years of what must be wonderful memories. Remember you can talk to him anytime - he will hear you!
I agree with that NancyT. I do believe the angels hear everything said by us or see what we do. Emily. You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. When that happens all we can do is think of the happy days we had with our parents and occasionaly, we smile at things they did or said. My prayers are with you.
Hi EEZJim,
I have been MIA for a while. Very sorry to hear of your friends passing. It somestimes is a very weird world. I am sure you gave him alot of comfort during his last days
Steve
Hi, Jim -

Jim --
My condolences for your loss. Sorry, but I just saw this. Always tough to lose somebody like that, even more so when it is cancer. All the best.
Lost my dear friend last year also- this is just something that riles all these stupid cancer fears right back up. What a blessing to have had such a long term friendship in a society that doesnt put alot of value on those. Good for you and hope your heart feels some relief from this huge hurt.
Take care and know that we are thinking about you!
Jennie
