dont know what to say, its a difficult situation when someone gets terminally ill. We had friends and family and a whole lot of people visit my dad, some where upset because he went too quickly for them to visit him, including my brother and his twins. Other people with the finances and ability to travel at will did come. Its nice for the family to know that many people remeber the happy times and are not scared away by cancer.

When my grandad died there was an uncle who took on the role of chief mourner and organiser, he did through his love of his father, well meaning but unfortunatley he rode roughshod over other family members including my gran. He just did not see it, the rest of us did.

Its a tough one. Dont let one friends death ruin the bond between the rest of you, life is just too short x x
