What happens is often far beyond our control. I took some comfort from having control over how I wrote about my own losses. Hope U take some comfort from how well you saluted your friend’s sense of humor.
That’s kind of you, some losses offer an opportunity for adding to the relationship by completing a process, all part of the deal in a good friendship.

I’m so sorry. It’s never easy to lose someone. May he rest in peace.
A person of great character and great age, no unfinished business he said, so yes, I think he rests in peace 🌞
That’s a comfort.
So sorry for your loss. Relish the memories. May he RIP
Thank you, I shall
So sorry for your loss.

Oh no…I’m so sorry; it’s a tough time to lose folks, the holidays–though there’s no really good time… My condolences.
Thanks, Stella, much appreciated.
Most welcome.
I am sorry. The angels are being kept quite busy right now, your friend is in good company.
Thank you, I certainly think he’d keep them laughing
