Oh, I'm so sorry, Kellye, for the tragic loss of your friend, Rick. This must be so incredibly painful for you. I pray that you will find peace in your heart as you struggle through this time of grief. You know we're right here for you anytime.

What an awful shame, Kellye, about Rick! I can't imagine how hard it must be to try & make some sense out of all of this. Hopefully, once the situation is investigated, there'll be answers to the ?'s you & his family are facing. Let us know how this all turns out. We'll be thinking of you, & Rick's family.

Woke up early this morning, I cant stop thinking about him. I had a dream about him last night. I keep remembering his facial expressions. Today seems to be harder than yesterday.

Under the cats, mostly.
Oh Kellye that's got to be really rough
I know what it's like to lose a friend, but I couldn't never imagine not knowing why. I'm absolutely heartbroken for you, but you know what? In a way I'm glad that you never had to see him suffer in any way... because it was so sudden, although losing him is tough, you'll always remember him being happy. How he laughed and smiled... not as someone in pain or misery. I hope you'll always remember the good times. God bless you - I'm sure Rick is watching over you, may his soul rest in peace.

Kellye, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Sudden, unexpected deaths do happen, and there aren't always answers as to why. My older brother died in his sleep quite unexpectedly in 1991 - he was 37. The police investigated it as a homicide, then a suicide, then an accident, and then natural death. After months and months, a tentative conclusion was reached - several pathologists concluded that he died of acute respiratory distress (in his case, an asthma attack) triggered by his new neighbors' 3 Persian cats. That conclusion is not 100%, so we still wonder why. The one solace I find is that he didn't suffer for weeks or months. Just a few years ago, a friend dropped dead in her kitchen while putting her groceries away - the prognosis was heart failure, but how many 50-year-old women experience heart failure while "exerting themselves" while stashing groceries in the fridge? I really hope that an answer is found in your friend's case, but all too often the only answer is "fate". When your time comes, that's it.
