Re: How do you feel about a Memorial/Tribute Forum?

Hi all;

I am not in favour of a Memorial as there are so many that would be lost in the process. This site has grown
in knowledge and concern as the members have expressed their views, experienced their disease and passed. Some were members who were loved and posted often and some passed by quickly and were gone. There must be a better way to remember all who were members here. I remember an Australian women (I hate to say I can't remember her name) who was very inspirational to me from years past. Would we remember her?
