When A Friend Passes Away......

I just found out a very dear friend of mine has passed away after being ill for a brief period of time.....I hope even though he was not a member here you won't mind if I express a little grief for a moment. His name was Pete or "Peter Mac" as all his friends knew him and he was not only a very good friend but he was very good to me at a very difficult point in my life as I was getting my stuff together after my divorce and for that and many other reasons I will miss my friend "Peter Mac".

Gone too soon from us.....this ones for you Pete!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Sorry for the loss of your friend Larry. Maybe a little time casting at the waters edge is in order to reflect on lost friends, family, and loved ones.

Sorry for your loss, Larry. In my thoughts and prayers.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

The kind words mean alot. Pete was a very generous, selfless person and I owe him much. I have many great memories with Pete but it hardly tempers the loss. Thanks for your support and your tolerance of my hard times. The next few days will be tough....words for his family will be difficult to come by. I am a victim of my frame of mind that some things last forever and then when things like this happen I have trouble with it....this will be a tough few days....but I will honor my friends memory.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Arrow Bigfish........................................... ......

.....................there are many religious beliefs.....

and you have to have a belief system ...just to function
on a daily basis...as to how you do everything

but.... i like to think or believe that the spirit energy
which cannot be destroyed lives on....and each sojurn
into life....is a chapter in a book of life....

the body ...merely a vehicle...a shell to be mobile with.

so...yes you have lost your friend... his inspiration and
memories
though, live on within you.... that you cherish.

even though your very sad at this time...
you have to ....appreciate and celebrate his life
and what he gave to you inside....to your soul/spirit
and how lucky you were to have recieved it.

chin up big guy... each day when you see the sun rise
it is a gift.....as was his life.

Mikey and I had a best friend who hung himself ten years ago...Mikey had 2 buds in high school that took their own lives, as well.

Larry,

No bond is tighter than that of a friend who stuck with you through a tough time. Sorry for your loss Larry... do right by him and remember him the way he'd want to be remembered.
