    A friend died today

    I taught with Ray, a friend of mine, about 5 years ago at our district's alternative school. Ray was a good guy and we ate lunch with a group of friends about once a month to keep in touch and catch up. I got a call today from another friend today telling me that Ray had a massive heart attack and died this morning. I'm saddened but that's only part of the story. Ray had no family (he did but they didn't want anything to do with him) and was all alone. While Ray was dying he had no one by his side. He died alone. I feel bad that Ray won't have a funeral or family to mourn him. I tell this to you so you remember that your relationships are important. I hope none of us have to die like Ray, alone in the world.

    I'm sorry to hear of the sad news and hope that you are OK, John. I'll firmly believe that your friend Ray may not have had a family member by his side, but that someone or something caring was there for him.
    It's all good!

        I am sorry to hear about your loss. Unfortuneately I know just how hard it is to lose a good friend. Take some time, try and come to terms with it, know he is a better place. If you were a good friend to him, take solice in knowing that someone was.

          Sorry to hear about Ray. Maybe some of his friends can get together and have a small ceremony for him.

          Take care.

              That is totally depressing, but a good tip. We often take things for granted, and in a flash its gone. Sorry 'bout your friend.

                Sorry to hear about your friend John. We often take things for granted until it's too late. I'll keep you and he in my thoughts at this difficult time.

                  Hey, you remembered him, and he's now touched all our lives by your having shared his story with us. Thats something.
                  In the end maybe being remembered, even a little bit, is all that matters!?
