Alrighty then. A family member of mine who passed away a couple of weeks ago took care of this herself. She wrote a goodbye and posted it on her husbands peg board in the garage unknown to him. When she died, he happened to find it. She had titled it "to be read at my funeral." It was a very emotional moment when it was read.

Does it work for people we don't like??

Obituaries from Tomorrow: ______________, nobody, died today

________________, mindless Internet worm and hopeless fantasy-land resident was found this morning draped over his computer. The preliminary report from the Medical Examiner's Office in San Francisco, CA was "he was, like, so dead dude".

His body was draped over his keyboard, the letters thereon barely visible through the muck and grime only an unwashed brain-dead pecker could leave. Greil Marcus briefly made news when in 2004 his name appeared on the historic Free Republic.com website. All other records of his life are hard to find, although he seems to have posted banal articles and rants online for several months.

__________________ is survived by his lovely bride, a male goat married at the Gavin Newsome Chapel. Although not legally recognized, much to his chagrin and the hair on his loves chinny chin chin, Greil continued to proclaim his life was nothing less than normal. He said that his critics were the ones who were not normal.

___________________ is also survived by his pet cats, Valkryie and Zotter, who had eaten parts of him when they became hungry. He had apparently been dead for a few days before the goat remembered how to dial 9-1-1.

The responding Police and Tolerance Officers said the stench was horribly foul, meaning that it fit perfectly into the surrounding neighborhood.

The monitor of his aged computer showed the website Free Republic.com had once again banned him and zotted his latest troll rant.

Be careful of what you delete.

Novel idea, but anyone with half a lick of sense already has this set up with their local bank and a safe deposit box.

Besides, I wouldn't fork over information on my login IDs and passwords for storage on SOMEONE ELSE'S system. That's not just stupid, that's begging for trouble. Sakes...

My first though was of FR too. Some threads become the battle of the last word.

A keepsake to keep forever. Easier than having a "conversation" afterwards with the dearly departed.

And exactly how does this site get notified to do this? Does the dying person send them an email just before they croak?

Whoever notifies these people to send the last email could send the email themselves. Or notify the attorney to do same.

Obviously, I'm once again missing something.

That's kind of tacky.

I guess some people can't exit quietly.

I would just send one that said MESSAGE DELETED.

Actually, I'm going to have myself frozen until I can download myself into a holographic program. Then I can offer my sage advice and wisdom to my descendents whether they like it or not. : )

Like Stella could harangue Harry Clinton Mudd in outer-space (Star Trek).

I believe that was "Harcourt"....

It has been years since I've seen that episode, but I can still clearly hear that screeching voice: "Harcourt! Harcourt Vincent J. Mudd!"

It is seared in my memory; seared, I tell you...
