Another funeral of a friend

Monday, I received a call to do a funeral for another friend who died in his sleep.  He was 61 years old. I had known this man since he was a freshman in high school.  I hadn't seen him for quite a while. I knew his parents and his brother too.  It is so tough doing funerals for people you have know for 40 years or so.  Last week I done another funeral of a lifelong friend.  It just never seems to get easier for me even thoughI have done a lot of funerals.
