In the early hours I heard that my best friend's husband died suddenly whilst they were in Turkey. They had been married 37 years and I adored him as did my children.

There is going to be a post mortem in Turkey and another one in the UK, how she is going to get through this I don't know. They were absolutely devoted to each other and their family.

I am so sad, I know we are getting to the age when we will lose friends but it still such a shock. Robert was 67 and so full of life. Please spare the time for a thought for his family and friends.

Thanks

Thank you, Jude and I have been friends for 50 years, I have known Robert since the first week she met him. She dragged the poor man over to me for approval..lol

I have just had to tell our mutual friend who we have both also known for 50 years. I have so many family to phone and I am dreading telling the children but that won't be until they are at home tonight.

I can't believe 37 years of trading both love and dreadful insults has ended.

Before anyone asks why I am on GR it's because you are somewhat detached, although still friends, and it's easier to say things.

It's been a bad week for sad news Sue,

Condolences to your friend and her family, and sympathy to you, losing someone who has been a friend for that length of time, is 'losing family'.

(((hugs)))
