With the sadness of 'our' Sharon's recent passing, I'm wondering about including an in memoriam forum, which could simply have a thread for each NGA member's passing with the date and cause of death (if appropriate) as a place to 'gather' for sharing memories, date/time of services, photographs, a link to the member's profile, etc. The Sandbox seems too frivolous, and no other forum really fits either. I would suggest (if possible) only allowing an admin to start a thread and to limit each passing member to one thread. Many of us have established full and lasting cyber-relationships with folks from all around the world, some we've actually met, others not. I realize this falls somewhat beyond 'gardening' but it would seem to be a respectful tribute to long time garden members. ?
