"Jim was a good friend of mine, and I will miss him a lot. My thoughts and prayers are with his family."
Yeah, THAT I understand.
But too many people, who never knew the person, just automatically say that. You never the person and now they are in your thoughts and prayers?
oooo kay.


If MY good friend/mentor/brother passed away and I saw a lot of people who never knew him/her putting in those one liners, I would be upset. But HEY, thats just me.
Maybe other people see that and say "oh, isnt that nice".
