I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Bob. A very close friend of mind died of brain cancer 5 years ago. He was only 56. So, I've been where you are. My friend was a Christian also, so, while grieving, I was able to also rejoice in that. "Grieving, but not like those who have no hope."

Talking to oneself is, I believe, considered a sign of lunacy. Thinking to oneself is most certainly a sign of it. - G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936), in January, 1906
