My condolences as well AS. Be a good support for your friend. My grandmother who was 95 years of age just passed away a couple of weeks ago. The support is very helpful. Your friend will be greatful. You on the other hand are doing just what a true friend should do. You are there for your friend. Travel safe and return safe.
