You all look like a bunch of old friends getting together at a pub to toast the passing of an old group member, reminiscing over the good times you used to have... when not one of you bothered to check in on him over the past year and see how he was doing.
If you don't see the hypocrisy, that's okay... my glasses aren't rose-colored. Toast up!

Carrie, no hypocracy.
I have some friends who would take a bullet for me, and I for them. One I haven't seen in three years, another probably not for seven. If anyone of us needed the other, we'd be there in a moment's notice. When anyone of us do next get together, time will have folded to zero, it will have felt as though no time has passed and we'll pick up the inate rythm of our banter immediately.
If, heaven forbid, one of them met with an unfortunate accident, by your analogy no one should show up for the funeral since having not seen each for years means by your definitioin that none cared for the other. Maybe now you can empathize. And if you don't, then you don't.
