Updating the Memorial Wall (Vanity)

Dear FRiends,

As you may have noticed, FR's Memorial Wall hasn't been updated in quite a while, since 2022.

In that time, we've lost at least fifteen Freepers (probably more). These are friends who not only deserve a place of honor on the Wall but need a place where they can be "found" and remembered.

To that end, we suggest the following update to the Wall (posted in the comments below).

The tedious html work is already finished!

All a moderator--or anyone with access--would have to do is copy-n-paste the updated html into the existing Wall's code, somewhere after the most recent addition:

The new memorials should fit right in.

Please see below for the "rough draft".

Jim Robinson definitely should be on there.

I was afraid that Nopardons had passed. Thanks for finding out and memorializing her and the other Freepers. I didn’t even know there was a Memorial Wall.

Great work, jonny. Thanks.

What about “nachum” last heard from about Dec 2016?

Indeed we did! I KNEW there was a recent death that affected all of us, but for the life of me, could NOT remember who it was when thinking of the long list. *head-slap*

Now I feel awful for forgetting about his sudden death at 60.

[luvie]

That list breaks my heart.

[luvie]

He is on the wall.

Beautiful work, jonny. Thank you so much for doing this hard work. It’s hard to read with water in my eyes, though.

One of the great Americans.

Thanks for keeping the faith.

Thank you for doing this. Seeing their beautiful conservative faces brings tears to my eyes.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Thank you.

[silent_jonny]

Not trying to add to the tears, but are these photos of Professional Engineer?

If they are, which do you think he would prefer?

Do you have more information about Chode? I enjoyed his posts. But I see he hasn't posted in nearly a year.

[silent_jonny]

There may need to be a “wall” for the presumed deceased. I hate for people to be forgotten, or leave us without any mention.

[Allegra]

Awww…I like both pictures, but slightly favor the second one.

Again, I really appreciate you doing this. And thanks for remembering bagster. I never met him personally, but he really could make me laugh.

[virgil]

Sorry, I don’t have any more info on Chode. Hopefully, someone does. He was a regular on FR and I enjoyed his posts. Thanks for doing this.

If you click on the FREE REPUBLIC logo at the top left of the main page you'll find the Memorial Wall link at the bottom.

Thank you. Verified....

In honor of those FReepers who now rest from the labors of life.

Their voices may have been silenced, but their words and deeds will never be forgotten.

This makes me so sad..Brussel I didn’t know about...she was always one to call for prayers for fellow freepers....did know about JustAmy either.
