Hi Dutch.
I can empathise with you.
My friend of over 50 years died on Monday.
She was diagnosedd with cancer in November & given 5-12 months to live.
It was 5 months exactly.
After all these years, it´s like losing a sister.

Marion so sorry to here about your friend condolences to you and your friends family,when i phoned her afew weeks back she was,nt well im going to ring tomorrow as the family dont want to be answering the phone at moments like this,but i need to say goodbye to my friend i dont think she got over the shock of her son-inlaw dying he was realy good to her he came back home off holiday and rang her to say he was,nt well and did,nt want to pass anything on to her .afew hours later he was dead,and your right it is like losing one of our own
Dutch

Thanks for your support Dutch.
The worst part is being so far away. She was in England & I´m in Spain.
Had hoped to get over there in the spring, but finances are very tight .
She & her husband & I all grew up together.Like you I have been reluctant to phone.
Hope you get to speak to your friend.
Marion

Marion i know how you feel my friend is in England and im in Holland ,but my friend was,nt expected to last thru the night and i dont want to ring incase she did,nt make it ,so will ring tomorrow
Dutch

sending hugs to both of you, it is so difficult to be miles apart at times like these.
Love and hugs,

Dutch and Marion, am thinking about you both, it's so hard to lose old friends, especially when you are so far from them, but I am sure both of them knew how special the friendship was and that you will have happy memories of times spent together.

I was lucky in 2008 to have been able to spend time with my friend when she was in the hospice, and to have the chance to say thank you for the times she had been there for me and for the fun times we had.
I still miss knowing she was at the end of the phone.

Thinking of Dutch and Marion. As you know Dutch my daughter just lost her friend, and so I see how very upset she is. But after so many years of being there for each other, you must have felt like sisters.

Have just phoned my friends daughter and her mum died on tuesday,
God saw that you were getting weary
The hill too steep to climb
He put his arms around you
And whispered peace be thine

So sorry Dutch.
Sharing your sadness.

Thinking of you both, Dutch and Marion and sending gentle hugs because I don't know what else to say. Condolences to both families.
