DU MEMORIAL WALL IS A GO. PLEASE READ.

[lildreamer316]

I have been authorized by Skinner and the admins. to say that the memorial wall/page is definately a go. They would like everyone to post ALL those from DU you know have passed HERE in THIS thread. If you want to discuss ideas for the page/wall, I can start another thread, OR you can add to the one in GD already started here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2228717&mesg_id=2228717

We need to keep this thread clean for easy reference, kicks and names only please. If you want to add something please put it in the body of your kick message. It is up to your judgement whether or not to put the person's real name or not, we can always do that later on the actual page IF it is ok with the families.

Thanks to everyone for the support.

In the spirit of those who are light.......

A suggested memorial:

Most americans don't vote. Which means everybody here knows somebody who doesn't vote. So find somebody who doesn't vote and convince/nag them into voting. Offer them a ride to the polling station if you have too. Consider their vote to be a vote from a DUer lost.

[Pathwalker]

12. There was a male DUer who died very early on.

It was a Saturday, but I can't remember his name :-(. 2002?
sorry I can't remember the name.

[kainah]

27. kef died on a Saturday, I believe

Are you thinking of kephra?

[Pathwalker]

38. No, it was well before Kephra's death.

It was an older gentleman, 60's + who died in his sleep. I distinctly remember Kephra's death, and it was not him.

On edit: I found the information I asked about at your link. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[DemExpat]

34. Great initiative here. I think adding links to the old memorial threads

letting us all know and remember who they were is a good idea too, don't you think?

Welcome to DU, friend. :hi:

[kelliebrat]

41. Thank you very much

When DU is united this place is rather poignant and magical.
