Was a friend met at Grandview in Summer 1973. palled around, studied together, bar hopped together, road around together. Had an accident together 1974 using around in dune buggy, kinda wrecked our friendship.
Never saw him again, he blamed me, was resentful; I never stopped loving him like a brother, God Bless that good man, I miss him still. We had some good times together in 73 & 74.

I am very sorry for your loss. No one really is prepared to let someone we love fall sleep in death so it is okay what you are feeling right now. Jehovah God created us with the desire of wanting to live forever, that is one of the reasons why this situation is the most difficult of all. It's good to see how God is ready to comfort us. Notice what he tells us in 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4: ''Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.''. May that family find comfort in Jehovah God, the God of comfort.
