25, here is the letter I wrote back to her:

Hi Wife,
Thank you for your words. They mean alot. I found out Tom died on Saturday morning. I was looking at our yearbook with his photos, and remembering how we were best friends in freshman year. Me, him, and a guy named John S. John died right after graduation in car accident in 1978. We were pretty close, but, over the years, sophmore, junior and senior, we sort of drifted away, but I would always enjoy seeing him over the years to "talk about the good times"

He will be missed. Thanks again for your thoughts wife, hope you are doing well,
Gunny

I agree with you 100%, if the least that comes out of conversations like these is friendship, I will be happy. Thanks for your great input!!
