I am sooooo sorry Mike. Loosing a friend like that so suddenly, heck, just loosing a friend like that, is very hard on everyone. I am glad you told us, and my sincere condolences to you, yours and Ed's family. I don't know what else to say right now, but wishing you strength and healing. The pain never goes away and he will always be missed, but with time that pain will find a place where you can deal with it. For now, grieve, it's the best thing you can do.

Mike, I am so sorry. I'm glad you came here with us, and I'm glad your friend was in a happy phase. Healing hugs on the way.
Dear Mike...my heart goes out to you. The devastating pain of losing someone you've known most of your life must be very hard.
But your friend, only in my own opinion, couldn't have had a better exit than being with the ones he loved at the time. Please grieve for your loss and his family ..but I feel he was one of the few fortunate ones that didn't have to go slowly and painfully downhill for a long time.You will remember him at his best as will his family.

I wish that everyone could have a friend like Ed. It didn't matter if you called him in the middle of the night, he'd be right over to help and we'd do the same for him. Because he was a contractor he has done a lot of work on our house. He's left his mark everywhere we look. Our kids don't remember a time that he was not around. How lucky we've been to have had him in our lives.
This morning I was going to call him to come to dinner tonight, but I got a phone call about him instead. So, tonight we ate the dinner I'd planned for him. He'll always be a part of our lives. I'll miss him terribly, and shed more than a few tears, but I'm happy to know that he went out the way he wanted and his troubles are gone.

((((((((Janet)))))))) I'm so very sorry about the loss of your friend.....it's truly a blessing that you and Mike have each other for comfort at these times.....sending all my best your way
Oh, Mike, there's nothing I can say much beyond our other porchers... except:
That a heart as large, loving and kind as yours is going to ache hard and for a while! This is the biggest, and hopefully the only, major hurt that you and Ed have ever shared. Just think of the last time you and he shared that knowing grin that only dear friends can cherish eternally!
Peace, my friend, internal peace!

Mike & Janet - so very sorry to read of your loss. The next while will be hard - but so glad that you have so many memories of good times with your friend. Prayers being sent for you and his family that you will have the strength to get thru this time of sadness.
Come on down to Grand Isle, Louisiana, and I'll see what I can do for you. These are civil aircraft, BUT, most of our pilots are former military. Let me get hold of the right pilot and I could probably get one to skim the waves. We just can't tell anybody.
As has been said, doing what he loved with family he loved. Doesn't help us much, of course.
Remember the good times, the hard times shared.
Mike, I truly AM so sorry to learn of your loss. There's just nothing like that "best" friend in the life. I can't begin to imagine your pain. Please accept a heartfelt Cajun HUG from me and my deepest sympathies.
Mike, it's difficult .. nothing can change it .. words can't take it away .. take some time, think back to the beginning, and write the story .. gather up any pics and put it all in a box .. press a flower from the funeral and add it to the box .. you'll perhaps find, as I did, that it can be a catharsis .. because now, the memories are the most important thing ..
(((((((((((Mike and Janet))))))))))) I'm so sorry. Only with time can help ease the pain. Truly he was blessed to leave this world in such a glorious way. With his family, doing what he loved, and suddenly, with no prolonged suffering. I know you know how truly blessed y'all are to have had such a wonderful friend in your lives. Prayers for y'all and his family. Mourn for yourselves, but rejoice for him.
Ooh, ooh, can I get in line? All I ask is that we go out to feast on sum mud bugs (my dime) and I'll even sit in your lap if ya wish (might even purrrr, if ya insist)!
Oh wow, Mike and Janet, I will add you to my prayer list as well as your friends family. A loss is never easy to overcome and a true friend can never be replaced.
I won't sit in your (roto's) lap or purr, but I want in on the hoppy clopter ride too!! And I'm always in for mud bugs!!
