Bobreedo, so sorry to hear of another tragic death. If you follow me you will see that Mr. George was met by a tragic end as well. We celebrate the life and times we had with him this Friday along with his son, family and other friends of "Murdock". I will try to do a better job of explaining to my 7 y/o son about what we are doing at the funeral, why we gather, why we pay our respects. He knows Mr. George is with God, but honestly his whole attitude about death is so dismissive. It bothers me. His great uncle died, fish have died (Fin, EMO I and II) and our wonderful old dog Rawley (17 yrs. with me). Death just sorta seems rolls off of him and much of the younger generation in my opinion. I guess the desensitization is due to so much death in video games and on TV. Maybe it is just because he is 7. He will likely come into a deeper understanding of the experience of loosing somebody close to you in his own time. I guess we all do. For you, I'm sorry for your loss. May your friend rest in the peace and glory of the kingdom of heaven. He will still be there for you when you need him. Just call and think about what he would say to you to give you strength to carry on. God Bless.
