There may be some who are still alive but we are no longer close with for any number of reasons, or distance keeps us away from them, or circumstances. It doesn’t mean we love them less, or not at all. Marijane always urged me to offer my love to those who might not be able to accept. “Tommy, still mention them in your prayers. You don’t have to be with someone to offer your love to them. Keep them warm in your heart. You will be surprised how often those feelings will find their way to them.”
