Said our final fairwell today, it’s actually been a great day.. because Wayne lasted longer than expected we got some great days sitting around him in hospital telling stories laughing and joking… really helped the healing process.. 

I really did gain a 2nd family in knowing Wayne and it was confirmed today by how I was treated…. 

I had ummed and ahhed about saying a few words and in the end I did and glad I did.

Sorry to read this thread. Best wishes to you and your mate, SJL.

Glad you got to say a few words - 
You can’t change your mind next week and wished you’d said something- So glad it worked out

As time moves on you’ll be able to smile and laugh as you recall great times together - Certain days and moments will trigger tears but that is good

You did the right thing for both of you, but you already know that & don't need anyone to tell you.
Sorry to hear the bad news, but it sounds like you have gained friends as well as losing your mate.

So tough to do, saying a few words. Good on you for doing so. Sorry for your loss.

I absolutely couldn't say anything at my brother's funeral, would've destroyed me. Right at the last minute his mate arrived from Switzerland. We weren't sure if he could get there. Mark 100% saved the day for us all by saying the few words we couldn't. Total fucking legend.

I reckon there's quite a few of Wayne's family who probably view you like that now.

Chapeau for doing that for your mate @strumjoughlamps ;
