A Good Friend Has Passed Away

Perhaps there is an age that sees the passing from life more often than other parts of life, but such losses should never seem unimportant. I do not know how the death of a good person impacts the cosmos, but it must. My friend Bob passed today. Like another friend just two months ago, he had been fighting for his life for a while. He was a person who deserved more life. He was a person who could have filled more life. He was not given more life and his family and friends will have no more of him physically in their lives. This must be felt somewhere besides in our personal feelings and emotions. If it is not, is a life nothing?
