Funeral Arrangements

[Thomas3.20.2010]

Yes, the time has come to bid my Friend Kenny goodbye! I am surprised how stunned I am since I knew this day would come! But there you are! 

Why does the World seem to be so normal when my world has come to a stop? How dare people keep about ther daily business as if nothing has happened? Don't they know that with Kenny's death so goes the possibility of a cure for him? Was I really that blind to the finality of his demise? I thought I was prepared. 

Well, I'm not! But I will find a way to move forward and help Kenny's brothers with the funeral arrangements and the last goodbye..

Thank God my Wife is here to support me! Thank You, EX Community for allowing me to lean on you from time to time as I went through/ am going through this process. 

One thing's for certain! I won't even think about smoking as an option! The thought of allowing Addiction to take one more person's life appalls me! I hate alcohol! I hate Nicotine! I hate the slavery and deprivation that is ADDICTION! I will guard my life from the torment of Addiction at all costs! 

It's just not worth it!

Thomas, I am so very sorry.  Kenny was very lucky to have you as a friend when he was here.  I know that you know he is still with you.  I have felt that feeling that the world should stop on more than one occasion, it just does not seem right that things go on. 

I, too, hate addiction and I will guard my life from it.

Blessings, Ellen

I am so sorry for your loss. Addiction is an evil that takes too much good from this world.

Thomas you and Kenny's family are in my thoughts and prayers.

[Ms.J_11-10-2013]

We are never prepared for the end, we may think we are but not so much.  Please remember one thing, Kenny is finally at rest, he no longer has to bear the pain and discomfort.  You we one heck of a good friend and you stood by his side. He is at peace now and that should give you some comfort and closure.. 

God Speed Kenny!

Hugs to you Thomas!

We can spend months saying goodbye Thomas but it always sneaks up on us. I think the finality of the end is what throws us. We think we’re ready but we never are. Be happy you had the time with your friend. Remember the best of times & know he is in better hands.

And Thomas…keep on keepin on my friend,

Oh Thomas my deepest sympathy to you. I understand so well what you said about never being prepared even tho you think you are and how is the world just going on like normal. It is the oddest feeling! Trying to just do the everyday things seems so "alien". You have been such a an Angel friend to your friend. I hope happy memories will soon comfort and soothe this sadness. God Bless, Ann

Thomas , I'm so sorry for your loss, please accept my senciere condolences to you and his family !

May he rest in peace!

You are a marvellous friend and he knew that.

You are so right in saying that we must guard our life from addiction -it has no mercy upon us and it will take everything we love if we allow it.

Take care my friend and I hope your heart heals in time, God bless x
