It's not a good way to learn such news but I have found it increasingly the case here even with people I thought of as more than acquaintances and whose family knew my address and phone number. The latest friend I lost was just 66 and Alzheimer's took his life. The lesson to us all is to enjoy each day, love those around us and do good deeds whilst we are able.

If one gets to know a lot of people - and many of us do, naturally - as we grow older, the chances of such bad news escalate. Yesterday was the third anniversary of the passing of a dear friend of mine. He was being treated for the BIg C and then got an infection that could not be quelled and took him. Again, not an old guy - early sixties. Awards
