Uzzi, sorry to read that you have lost such a very good friend. He obviously mean't an awful lot to you and you will miss him dreadfully but I hope you are able to remember all the good times you shared and hold him in your heart forever. Memories to be cherished.
My condolences to his family,
((((hugs)))) for you.

Uzzi, I am so sorry you have lost your dear friend, Kev, and can only wish him peaceful rest now, free from pain and suffering.
You were very lucky to find each other and I am sure he will be there for you even now, listen for his voice in your heart when you need advice or comfort or a ticking off! You will hear him.
I am sure you will be a big comfort for his daughter and hope you can stay in contact with her - later she may need your stories about him again, when she has a bad day or night, missing his presence.

So hard to lose such a good friend but celebrate the good times you shared.

Thankyou everybody.

If I was to talk about him I have already wasted days saying nothing when I should have being saying I love you.

At a quick sense all can say is kev was a friend like no other, if you find a frend like this hold on to them, they are beautiful

I'm so sorry Uzzi. It's hard to lose a good friend.

Those special times shared with Kev will always be with you.
Remember the laughter, but don't be afraid to cry at his passing.
He'd understand.

Ann I know that many of you understand lol I wouldn't have dared come on here otherwise.
I have spent all day laughing and crying on line with his daughter I guess she understood me and her dad more than his partner did. Or did I have more time for her who knows. I did know his daughter for longer an we always got on well.

He's going to be a hard act to follow.

Chris I am sorry for your loss so long ago? I have been lucky to know him and I am going to miss him like hell ..it's rare a female has a male friend like he was.
He applauded my choice of hubby and berated me when needed oh f*ck it's so hard to explain.
I'm going to miss him

My heart goes out to you - I had a friend like that Linda - six years now and I still miss her but then I think I was lucky to know her as you have been with Kev. Bless and take care.

Thankyou

It's hard to explain in an eulogy ..because of his partner, who is also a friend of mine (I introduced them) ..what he meant to me. We couldn't have been closer without him being a brother or lover , actually I think we were closer than either because we loved each other, that total unconditional love.
We were friends the rare in a lifetime friends.

Sod I need to prep dinner or I am going to wail my heart out.

I really feel for you. We all have to make that journey but some sooner than others and that seems so unfair.

Hugs to you Uzzi and Kev's family. It is hard when we lose good friends, remember he will always be with you in spirit.

Thanks everybody, I didn't really need any replies (didn't I ?) just airing my Goodbye and I know no better place than here because here there are people who say sorry and give that hug even when the grief isn't theirs. ..
They let you ramble on about how that friend was and help in anyway they can.
Although friends here aren't the same as "that true friend" by gum you lot are friends that I would be lost without.

I am slowly trying to put together an eulogy for Kev as it is doubtful I will make the funeral ..there is so much to say ...so much I want to say.

But whilst I do that can I thank all of you for being here in my little box with me when I need.
