‘I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny, I don’t know who to tell it to,’ actor wrote to his late friend. By Gil Kaufman Corey Feldman and Corey Haim Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images At the request of Corey Haim’s family, Corey Feldman didn’t attend his friend’s funeral in Toronto on Tuesday due to privacy concerns, but he posted an open letter to his “Lost Boys” co-star to mark the occasion. “This is for you on the day of your funeral,” read the note posted on Feldman’s blog . “First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimize the media attention as much as possible. “I want your family to have a calm peaceful day. Hopefully we will not see one shot of the funeral on the news. Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing. “I miss you so much already. When I think of something funny, I don’t know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember you’re not there. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realize that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined. Nobody will ever understand the brotherhood we shared. Nobody will ever get the inside jokes we told. Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222. Nobody will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. Nobody will ever make me laugh as hard as you did. Nobody will ever make me fight as hard as you did. Nobody will ever challenge me the way you did. Nobody will ever need me the way you did.” Feldman wrote that his mission in life became saving Haim’s, an apparent reference to the battles Haim had with substance abuse . The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has said that Haim had an enlarged heart , pulmonary congestion and water in his lungs at the time of his death, though an official cause of death has been deferred pending toxicology tests. Four strong prescription medications, including one reportedly obtained from an illegal drug gang, were found near Haim’s body, though his manager and mother have said the 38-year-old actor did not die of an overdose. Hundreds of friends and family packed the Thornhill memorial chapel in Toronto on Tuesday for Haim’s funeral, according to the Toronto Star . Also on Tuesday, E! News reported that the California Attorney General’s office confirmed that an arrest had been made in connection with an ongoing investigation into a prescription drug ring that has been linked to Haim’s death. An unnamed suspect who may have had something to do with getting the actor an illegal prescription of the powerful painkiller OxyContin has been taken into custody in the case. Authorities released the 911 tape in which Haim’s mother, Judy, can be heard calling paramedics to the Los Angeles apartment she shared with her son. “He all of a sudden got out of bed,” a distraught-sounding Judy Haim said in the tape, according to a Reuters report. “He wanted to go to the bathroom and he fell on the floor, and I put him on the bed and then that was it.” Haim told the 911 operator that her son was not breathing and that he had been feeling ill before collapsing. “I never knew your death would have such a huge impact on the world,” Feldman continued in his letter. “I learned something, Corey. There are a lot of people out there who really love you, and appreciate the joy you have brought to their hearts. I only wish you could see the way the world is mourning over your absence. I wish you could see how big the story is. I wish you could see your face finally filling the cover of People magazine and Entertainment Weekly ! “That would have meant so much to you. It is such a shame they all had to wait until you were gone to give you the respect you were due as an actor, which is what you truly were. The great Canadian actor Corey Haim! I love you and I will forever keep that ring close to my heart. I will do my very best to help give you a memorial that is a celebration of your life the way you would have wanted it … with everybody laughing and rocking out! My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive. I pray that you are safe and warm and finally filled with peace.” Related Videos Remembering Corey Haim MTV Rough Cut: Corey Haim Related Photos Corey Haim: A Life In Photos
