re: Friends son just passed away in a car accident

Whatever you do, don't send condolences via a text message, etc. Drive over, give him a hug, tell him you love him, tell him how you feel and offer to pray with him.

If you ask him "is there anything I can do for you?", he is going to say "no". Just do. Wash his car, polish the shoes he is going to wear to the service, mow the grass, have his suit cleaned, etc. etc.
