my thoughts are with you... and I know exactly how you feel. Back in 1998 I lost my best friend to Dengue fever,at the time my family and myself were visiting Australia on holidays, then on my birthday, I got a call, not to send best wishes but to tell me my friend had passed away at 18yrs of age.

Again, if we were told earlier about her illness, we would have had her flown to Singapore to get better medical treatment. But I guess it was just her "time". We have known the family since 1990 and not once have they asked for money or anything from us.

The only thing we did, the next day when she was to be buried (moslems must be buried either before sundown on the same day of death or the following day) we sent a representative from my fathers office with a gift of money to help with funeral costs.

Almost 10 years on, her memory is forever in my heart. We are still very close with the family and always will be.
