How to "Remember" a Friend from Long Ago - Just Found Out She Died...

Make a donation in here name if you would like. The family will be notified.

I can also assure you that it is never too late to send a card to the family. I would send a sympathy card to her parents (you don't know her spouse and children) simply stating that you just heard of her passing and that you wanted to express your condolences and share a fond memory of her.

They are sad every day and knowing that people still think of her will likely be more comforting than upsetting.

It is never too late to send a condolence and share your good memories.

I was searching for a dear friend when I was pregnant. I could not find him, I could not get any information.. Finally I found out he had been very ill and had died.

I sent his family a letter telling them how special he had been to me, I shared some of my favorite memories of him and how I had wanted so badly for him to know my husband and I were expecting a child. I promised them I would never forget him.

I never heard from them.. Then over a year later at Christmas, I received a Christmas card with a note from someone I did not recognize, Did not recognize the address.. It took me a week to realize it was his mother! I guess it took her that long to be able to respond.. maybe even to read my letter. She just said "Thank you for loving him."

I recently found out that my best friend from elementary school died about 12 years ago. I was looking or her for so long and then finally found her dad's address and wrote him a note to ask for her number. When he called me to tell me the news, he was so happy to talk to me. So I'm sure her family will appreciate your kind thoughts.
