Friends that passed away
So over the past few years I've had some friends pass away from various things but I still have them on my facebook friends list. I was thinking the other day should I take them off the list ? I'm kinda at odds with that cause I can't talk to them like that anymore and going to their pages just to stare at the pictures just seems very weird in a sense. I'm not the type of person to go visit a cemetery to see friends I've always just remembered them and spoken about with others, so is wrong for me to remove them from my friends list? For the record growing up and getting older sucks sometimes
Thanks

Dunno man its a tough call.
That is a tough one, and I don`t know what the answer is for you.
I still have them on my friends list, just can`t justify removing them. Because if I do and change my mind down the road, they will not be able to accept a friend request and all is lost. Put them in a different friends list. (just don`t call it deceased, it could look weird).
Got a new phone last year and transferred my numbers over, the misses asked why I kept numbers for friends who had passed, an all I could say was \"cause their my mates\".
I have a similar situation with friended gamer tags. When I come across an old (deceased) friends GT, I think about them for a moment. It usually makes me feel good to honour them in this small way.
Eventually I won't remember who they were and delete them. I guess that's okay too.
One guy I went to high school with he died only like 3 years ago left a 5 yr old daughter behind he had multiple health issues . My other friend I knew from my early 20's baby sat her kid who are now in their 20's she died from 4 brain tumors and breast cancer in 2012..(I feel old)..lol My friend who just died was someone who I worked with kept saying he had to quit smoking ..stage 4 cancer ...Just sad in a lot of areas ..well I'll just think on this one for a long while thanks for responding everyone hope you're all doing well
