It's so sad we've lost some more members.
I am in favor of a memorial page.
I do think it should be in a separate area to the main forum page because newly diagnosed people may be too frightened seeing it too soon. Any way to restrict it from new members until they've progressed to "older" members?
I think of so many of the members who have passed and their caring families as friends, I would like to see their names remembered with a photo of photos. Perhaps it could stress their lives, what they did, hobbies, family etc more than just born and died dates. maybe even avoiding the past tense? They are still here in my mind, just silent. I think the families who have lost someone would be the best ones to decide the appropriate page. I also think it might help the families with their grieving to know how much we all care about them that we want to visit the pages to remember them fondly.
hugs and love to all, especially those of you who have lost someone dear to you
