We considered having such a section when we first set up Marrowforums.

The PNH Support Group used to maintain an In Memorium section at their website, but it hasn't been used in recent years. Almost every entry in their In Memorium section includes a photo, which is nice. There are no comments from other site members attached to the entries. As far as I know, people would submit the information and then wait for the PNH Support Group site operators to update the In Memorium pages.

A system that better matches this forum system would consist of a special subforum where each thread is in memory of someone we lost. A thread in that section could be started by the person's family or by a close friend who knows the circumstances. It would be up to the person who starts the thread whether to attach a photo to their post. In any case, other forum members could reply with condolences. Nobody would have to wait for Marrowforums to provide help.

Is that the type of feature you are suggesting? Is that what others would like to see?
