To my childhood close friend

Now that I have this avenue to vent my years of feelings of loss, I want you to know that I have never forgotten you or our friendship. Your remembrance/funeral card is still displayed on my dresser, and I especially remember, and cry for you, every Memorial Day.

You will always be my friend and, as long as I live, so do you - in my heart, mind, and thoughts.

I have to close now - the grief is almost overpowering! I am so appreciative of this opportunity to say "good-bye", an opportunity I never had when I lost you, my friend.

Good-bye my dear John.
Your friend forever,
Joe
