I am sorry for your loss my friend. Words could not explain the pain in my heart for you. The only thing I can tell you, which isn't much help at all, is time heals ALL wounds

there is an old wisdom in my home country says in arabic : لربما اخ لك لم تلده امك
translation is : there might be a brother for you not biirth by your mother....

and really you are a brother not only a friend.

thank you
