Last week a childhood friend of mine passed away at the age of 53 from complications from Diabetes. He was Type 1. He passed away last Tuesday while his wife was out of town. I really don't know anything more specific than the coroner saying it was related to "complications from diabetes."

John and I have had a long distance friendship through emails for many years. He lived in Arizona and I live in TX. Our parents were neighbors when we were children so that's how far we go back. He was a very special person and loved by so many. His death hits close to home as a reminder of how serious this disease can be. I am very sad to have lost such a wonderful person…Karen
