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 thought baby Alex was catluvr' s son. She went on to have another baby about a year after, I think. |

Yes, littlemama that must be it because I remember she did go on to have another baby afterwards.

How many times do you forget about someone's passing until you see their name. I-95's name did that just now.
I think a memorial board would be lovely.

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. Honestly, do most peas need this? The ones that have been questioned in the past had reason to be questioned. KWIM? |

I think it's a great idea. I was thinking about Beth the other day and wondered why we didn't have a memorial board. She's who was on my mind today when I thought of it. And then I thought of Colin. And then my mind went to the gentleman photographer (I'm sorry I can't remember his name at the moment) I think we should have a memorial board. Beth was the first to come to mind for me too, and her wonderful makeup tips. I'm sure she's dazzling them in heaven! |

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. I think the OP meant to have the memorial thread pinned in the history of the peas board, not the NSBR. |

While I think it is a nice idea, I would want that subboard to be monitored and censored without the peas going apeshit. I thibk that post should be deleted if they are derogatory or take the focus off the pea (s) who have passed. I don't want a beautiful thread/tribute derailed.

No. I didn't even realize I could formally do that, TBH. I was sharing a thought with the board. |

I was just thinking of Misty recently. She has been gone just over 6 years and I still think of her when I drive by her house. She is greatly missed!

I was thinking of all the peas we've lost over the years. Of the pea babies and children. Of the pea husbands. And other family members. I think it would be good to have a sub-board to archive threads (which are usually full of an outpouring of caring & love) which have announced the passing of our Pea friends, and family. It would be a place with all those threads in one place for us to visit, when we want, or need, to. I also think we should have a permanent thread pinned to the top of the sub-board with a list of all the Peas (their names & peanames) who have passed. I'm sorry if this is morbid, I just think we should honor our loved ones. I think that's a lovely idea, and others obviously agree. My feeling is that the best place for it is as a sub-board of the History of the Peas thread. There could easily be a sticky thread at the top which lists all the peas' details, and links to the individual threads for them (where they exist) from there. I agree with whoever said it would need to be quite closely moderated though - any volunteers for that? I'd rather share the load on that one if possible. I'm sadly not necessarily familiar with all those peas we have lost that should be remembered, so I would also need some help pulling that info together. I'll set up the board to start with, and we can go from there. Thanks for such a great suggestion. |
