(nods) She held his job for a mindboggling FOUR MONTHS after Amber died. Also, when Wilson brought a gift for Rachel she commented that he doesn't need to bring a gift every time he visits, which suggests that that's exactly what he did. To Nightdog's list I'd add: Wilson said he was "part of the ceremony" of Rachel's brit bat, which suggests to me that Cuddy was including him as a part of the family and not just a guest. (Disclaimer: I'm not Jewish so my interpretation may be wrong.) She warned Wilson off dating Amber out of concern he'd be hurt. She talked him into waking Amber up to say goodbye to her before she died. She forgave him for buying the loft out from under her. In the episode where House was playing Cuddy and Wilson off each other to spend time alone, she was willing to give up seeing her boyfriend on her birthday so he could cheer up Wilson.
These perhaps aren't exactly "Cuddy being a friend to Wilson", but do indicate that she considers him a friend: She considered asking him to father her child. She's confided in him and asked for his advice on numerous occasions. The ones that come to mind are when she was crying after House insulted her mothering ability in S3, when she had trouble bonding with Rachel, when she found the loft, '5 to 9', and telling Wilson that she slept with her father's best friend. She trusts him. When she thought she had cancer it was Wilson she turned to to perform the ultrasound. Also, in her 1950s dream she envisioned Wilson as the milkman. The director (I think it was the director) said that that dream was Cuddy's fantasy of the ideal life, "where Wilson is never far away".
