Sad news, take care Lozzo

cry as much as you need, and just remember how good that person was to you.

Becks was an angel. 3 years ago I suffered a stroke and lost a lot of memory as a result. I used to ask Becks to tell me things in the hope that memories would be rekindled, which some were. During my recovery I'd go and visit her as she was already quite ill and had given up working. We'd joke about what a pair of worn out old codgers we'd become well before our time and help each other do the things we found difficult - she used to tie my shoe-laces for me because my left hand wouldn't work, and I'd help her upstairs to the bathroom. One day we were talking as usual and I asked her to flip some memories of our younger days across, she said "You don't want those, you had a **** time as a child and I don't want you reliving it again until you're ready to deal with it". Later on the memories came back, she was right and I thanked her for saving me the pain of finding out when I wasn't ready to accept it.

40 years and never a cross word. No doubt everyone has seen "When Harry met Sally", well the relationship me and Becks had was proof that two people of opposite sexes can have a great relationship without sleeping with each other, or ever wanting to. We went through 3 schools in 9 years, college, work, marriages, kids, divorces and breakups, illnesses and everything together. She was my stability in times of trouble, and I can only hope I offered her somewhere near the support she gave me when times were tough for her.

I've had my time crying on the sofa and tonight I'll be lifting a glass in her memory. My memories of Becky are all good and I'll miss her more than anyone I have ever met.

Thanks to everyone who's responded and sent pms, it's really appreciated and all helped.

Am so sorry for your loss.. I can`t imagine how it would feel to lose a lifelong friend who I valued so much. Her memory will always be alive in your heart. Take care of yourself and R.I.P. Becks x
