hi i just thought i would like to share something with you all . about 6 months ago i received an enquiry from someone who had seen a posting i had left on i think it was the roots site and offered me some info. i in turn helped them out as i had some spare credits on scotlands people and we became email friends i suppose you could call it. we would pass on humourous emails that we had received from other people and seeing their email in my box i knew i would always get a smile. if they were stuck with something on their tree they would run it past me. we sometimes exchanged details about our families like off to visit grandchildren this weekend etc.. |

it makes you think doesnt it that if families couldnt access our emails then there would be lots of people out there who would wonder why we hadnt replied or where we had gone. i have had contacts in the past that have just faded out and i had always thought their computer was broken and perhaps couldnt afford to have it fixed or they had perhaps had a virus and lost all contact addresses but i had never thought that they had died. |

sorry to hear about your loss Linda, and obviously the shock was greater because it was so sudden and unexpected. But good that you were told. I once had a snail mail penfriend who I had written to for several years, met her too a couple of times and got on well as we both enjoyed photography. then i didn't hear from her for ages. found out quite by chance about 6 months later from another pen friend, that she had died suddenly aged about 60. None of her family had let me know even though i had sent several letters and a Christmas card in the meantime. that was very sad. I have left instructions for people to be told if I pre decease my OH. |

I had a dear friend on the Internet a few years ago. She was disabled so e-mails and instant messaging meant she could chat to people. |
