I think Lein's second paragraph said it for me. The people who DO step up to the plate make up for the disappointments. I have heard it said that "once you get cancer, you know who your friends are". It really shows people's character. Or lack thereof. Even if they don't know what to say they can be kind in other ways. Send a card that says "I don't know what to say"
Bill, I cannot fathom the insensitivity you described. What a blow.
