#  LATE BROTHER'S GOOD FRIENDS ARE VERY BAD HOLIDAY GUESTS Dear Abby - Mon Nov 5, 10:48 AM ET

DEAR ABBY: My younger brother died unexpectedly two years ago. He was only 27. Since then, my parents have befriended his close friends. There are two couples, the "Smiths," who have a baby they named after my brother (my parents are his godparents), and the "Joneses" (Bill Jones was my brother's best friend growing up).
