Some I can see are close or have met.

I have nearly had foot in mouth wishing someone well, in an old post, only to find out later reading through another post that they had passed, as some notices about someone's passing is put in an unrelated post. It is also useful for some that may have been away from the forums for an amount of time or newbies.

I think those that battle this disease deserve their own acknowledgement and place to celebrate their life.

What do you think and members think? Again it is not supposed to be morbid or scary for those going through this process.

Honey, I think that is an excellent suggestion!
