Andrew, there isn't much I could add that hasn't already been said. I understand your loss and feel for you and the family but I must compliment you for the honorable fashion in which you "respected" your friend and his mourning family.
Andrew, few things can choke me up anymore. That did and is a wonderful testament to your friendship. Obviously, as has been echoed by all, Noga's father clearly appreciated and understood the meaning of that gesture. You have given him a memory of the high regard in which his son was held that will help in the grief he feels. Bless you.
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. Having shared a little here with my friend and Brothers, it makes my heart grow warmer and happier about life and the world that we live in.
Not all days can be filled with joyous moments, but there is always something, no matter how little it is, that you can stop and take in.
As a sailor I see many beautiful sunsets at sea. I look at these moments as one of natures beautiful gifts to us. Stopping to take in the splendor and how it makes me feel is something I do everytime. It is not something that I brush of either. Once that sun has set you will never see the same one again. I look at life much as I do a sunset. Take it all in and never forget the time you had with it, for once it is gone, it is gone. And such is life.
Again thank you all for being friends(most I which I have never met in person)and having a place where I can share with you.
Cheers!!!
I know I late on this.
So much as been said
I find it hard to add more.
Your actions for your friend were that of a
true gentlemen.
The Irish payer "May the road rise to meet You."
is one of my favorite.
The last line is my paraphrased prayer
for your friend's family.
