She's been married for 22 years and has kids that are in late teens and early 20's. Her husband has already lost 3 siblings and him mom.
I've never dealt with death before. What do they need to hear and what should I NOT say or do?

I am so sorry about your friend. Sometimes just being there says so much to her family. Just let them know that if there is anything you can do to let you know. Death is never easy for the family left behind. They always like to hear stories and things about their loved one from other people. How did she touch your life and what her friendship means to you is something her family needs to hear. It just verifies what they already know, that her life had purpose.

You don't need to say anything. Just be there for your friend. Ask if there's anything you can help with? Any errands you can run? It's just being with your friend that is comforting. Perhaps you could ask your frriend if they'd like to go for a cup of coffee? For a walk? Tell them to be sure and call if there's anything they need. A warm hug says more than anything you can say.
