What a dreadful shock. You appear to have brightened his life a great deal. The church bells are ringing out here and it seems an appropriate time to reach out. My thoughts are with you,

Just sending a big, gentle hug, downtoearth.

So very sorry about your friend it must have been heartbreaking to find him. He had you in his life and that was a blessing for him someone who loved and cared about him.
I am sure you have wonderful memories that you will treasure forever.
Your friend will always be in your heart as my best friend is he died ten years ago. I still miss him but smile every day when I think of him.
Your friend will always be there in your heart too.💐

How shocking for you, downtoearth, and how awful to lose someone close to you so suddenly. Small comfort maybe, but as he died in his sleep he probably knew nothing about it, and it’s the way many people would choose to go.

I wish you well in your bereavement and hope the administration and in dealing with his friends and family .

Sending you a big virtual hug 🤗 dte

Yes a terrible shock for you downtoearth but you can be proud to have known and helped such a lovely man who found contentment despite his poor start in life and disability. We can learn so much from such people but don’t we miss them when they are gone. After the grief I am sure you will remember him with fondness. You take care now at this sad time. xx

A horrible shock downtoearth. I’m so sorry you’ve lost your friend in this way. Please care for yourself.
