We've been having conversations about death periodically with our five-year-old twin girls...mainly because my dad's girlfriend (the only grandmother my girls have known) is terminally ill with cancer. What I've been telling them is that sometimes someone gets so sick that the only way to get better is to go to heaven and live with Jesus. We've talked about how that happened to my Mom (who passed away two months before the girls were born), how we're sad when it happens, that we miss them very much, but that they can't come back to us.
Not sure how your friend died, so our explanation may not work for you. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you find just the right words for your children to better understand.
