Wow! I had 3 friends so far this week that have died. It seems like this is going to be the norm for me from now on. The older we get the more we lose until either you go, or you run out of friends.
Rest in Peace brothers...

My grandfather told me the worst part about getting old was all his friends were gone, he was about 72 then and I was 15 so to me he was old as the hills, lol. My brother just turned 70 yesterday and it doesn't seem as old as it did back then.
Not my circus, not my clowns.

When you start outliving your doctors your old!
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Sorry for your loss Actor, I can't imagine losing that many friends in such a short time.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Sorry for your losses Gary.
As one who supports people during funeral and memorial services, I observe that people who live alone typically die alone, and those who've built a lifetime of friends typically have quite a few around them as they take their last breaths (except during covid). As followers of Christ, we are all members of the body of Christ, so we come alongside each other during times that are wonderful and during times that are hard. I'm a pastor involved in ministry care in a church in a small community in northern lower Michigan right now, and they walk together though life about as well as any church I've ever attended. Praise God.
Gary, get yourself to church and make friends of those who'll you see for a very, very long time indeed sir.
As it was meant to be when Christ began gathering His people, to walk together through "thick and thin."
Blessings,
Mark
