I'm sorry that management has not taken any action. It's unfortunate and sad, but management can tend to turn a blind eye to things that are not adversely affecting the bottom line and overall office productivity. I'm glad to hear, however, that your colleagues were supportive towards you. You probably do have some options however, particularly if your company has an employment harassment policy. If you feel that something needs to be done, you could always talk to your personnel or human resources people and see if such a policy exists and what you can do about filing a complaint.
As for losing a friend, yes, it is painful and sad. But, personally, I feel that friendship is built on trust and mutual respect. I could not remain friends with someone I could not trust and for whom I had lost respect. Nor could I remain friends with someone who displayed such a lack of respect towards me by joking around about something (more than once) that the person obviously knew would cause me emotionally pain.
Just my two cents.
Take good care, and good luck at your job interview.
