"Forever Missed"


       New technologies serve new purposes.  Geoffrey Fowler of the Wall Street Journal wrote on "virtual gravestones" and "digital legacies."

       Fowler realized he himself stood in need of one of several such services that already exist.  He had a homeless friend without anyone else to take note of his passing.  Fowler found the best for himself and for his friend was a service called "Forever Missed."

       Paying a single fee of about $75.00, Fowler could establish a legacy with words that acknowledged the remembered friend's life, to be kept in perpetuity, to which one could return, which others who may have known him could visit and add their own reflections.
