Just the other friend to find now then.
Thanks Mups. Yes it's not like we were close or anything but have some happy memories of when we worked together. At least I know about him now.

Re: What would you do?

I've been on the other end of this, as in receiving enquiries about my husband, it's amazing how many people he knew that I didn't know.

I did put a notice in the paper at the time but not everybody reads the paper, or the obits.

I still get the occasional person asking, I don't find it upsetting just takes me by surprise is all, so don't be scared of asking, people will be glad you remember their relative.

This happened to me a few years ago. I researched information to find relatives onky to discover the person had had a heart attack and died.

Re: What would you do?

Mum (80) uses the wee stickers the charities usually send in December, all printed with her name and address , on the back of the envelopes to those she no longer sees but wishes to keep in touch with

When people pass, it gives the NOK and idea of who to let know

Yes, I suppose if it was me, I would be pleased that someone cared.

Wish I could help LD, but this scenario is unlikely to cross my path, most people I knew, were never In it for the long run, here today, gone tomorrow.
