I guess it would depend on someone at least knowing the poster posts on FR and also that that person has passed away and is moved enough to inform us here. I imagine some of us have passed away without that happening since this group of us skews to the elderly side. Also a number of us have met in real life so there is that as well. Most of the time a spouse seems to be the one to let us know. Beyond a thread like this one can be memorialized on the Memorial Wall which is linked on the main front page of this website at the bottom. A perusal of which shows how many good people have been on this website.
I’ve actually left instructions on where to post stuff because I have been involved with a lot of forums and groups.
There is probably a small business in online obituaries coming up. The local paper isn’t going to cut it anymore.
Thanks. I’ve thought about letting my wife know to post about my demise...hopefully a long ways away. ;>)
