John, sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately we are at the age where it is an everyday thing.
Just yesterday while searching for great friends of 40 years..I found the my friend (minister in the 70's here),loss hie wife last year.
And now I just answered my door.. my neighbor of 45 years will not make it thru the night..
What really is sad, confinements hinder funerals..
The last two weeks there have been 7 old friends that have passed, and not a single funeral.
