Though I wish we didn't have to have a memorial, because I want all peas to have long happy lives, I think it's a great idea.

There are several memorial threads on the history board.

I miss Foreverinlove. She was a good friend and very funny! Does anyone remember the Drink A Lot photos she used to post of Jimmy? I-95, Just Becki, Foreverinlove, BethAnne, GageNana, and there are unfortunately more Having a memorial board I think is a great idea! I miss lots of wonderful Peas, Pea-Kids and Pea Spouses and Pea Parents. I hope admin will do this! |

I am in favor! I think it would be a great spot to remember those no longer with us.

Ugh. I didn't know I-95 had passed away. I kinda feel kicked in the gut. When you're a lurker, you remember the people that routinely responded to your few posts, and I-95 was one for me. I like the idea of a memorial board too. |

I agree. In case anyone is wondering, a lot of the memorial threads from the old site were saved here on the history board. I'll never forget I -95, Colin (candles for Colin), Beckett,Chris (ZDY) from the photog board and so many more.

Chris (ZDY) is still my friend on Facebook. I cannot imagine ever removing him from FB. He is missed.
I think a memorial board would be very appropriate. Some of us have been together for a very long time.

I have a bunch of Chris (ZDY) threads saved from when Two Peas was going down. I saved them for his mom since she was having a hard time getting them copied. If you need any, let me know.

I was wondering the other night if we should have some standard way for a spouse or loved one to inform us of a serious illness or passing. A way that we know it's legit. I know it sounds silly, but given experience here, I don't want my DH or one of my kids getting quizzed or attacked if they should (God forbid) ever need to come on here needing prayers for me. A password, particular phrase. Just signing in under my account wouldn't be enough it seems.
But then there's the possibility of trolls or troublemakers getting it...
I just know that if I were in a bad way, we would want and need the support that Peas provide and I worry about posting causing further stress.
My family doesn't Facebook or other social media so that wouldn't work for us...
I can't see any practical way to implement it really. But I think about those who have passed sometimes and this comes to mind.

MonicaB, I think the pea was littlefish but I'm not positive. My memory is full of holes these days but what I remember was it was back sometime in 2000-2002. I think everything was normal but after his birth they discovered he had a fatal heart defect and they held him in the hospital for a day or two and then he passed.

I like the idea of a memorial sub board to save threads. I am not a fan of a pinned post at the top of nsbr listing deaths/memorials. I can't really explain why.

This is a fantastic idea. I often think of our friends who have passed or have lost loved ones. I think of Beth often and how she was just full of life and said what was on her mind.  I remember the pea who's daughter passed away. The daughter's name was Kaitlyn. They founded Kaitlyn's Promise after her passing. I think of them often as well. |

I think it's a lot like going to a cemetery or memorial. You (general you) want a place to mourn and remember but don't want to scroll by it everyday. If you have to drive past the cemetery everyday, it can be depressing and make you not want to go there anymore. What we need is a quiet place to remember our fallen when we choose to go there, not a constant reminder. I know it make it sound like I feel they should be shut away or forgotten, and that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying many of us are uncomfortable with death or have enough of it in our real lives. We come here to escape, not to have to avoid reminders of it here. |
