I enjoy doing this and adding loved ones for my friends as well as connecting families! I have been working on both sides of my father's, my mother's family, and my stepdad's family...West, Hurt, Brock, Rhea, Lyttaker, Buffington, Baker, etc.

I'm the admin of my hometown Abingdon IL Memorial room, I try to add everyone that has some connection to Abingdon. I have found and added numerous former classmates and friends from my hometown. Many notify me as soon as they lose someone so that I can get their memorial started before a total stranger does it. I appreciate all the help that some of you have given me.

Many of us understand that losing a loved one does not always mean they are blood-related to us. To the ones that transfer memorials to me thank you. Unlike some, I am not here for just the "numbers". I work many hours adding obituaries to older memorials that have never been completed which helps connect family members. I try to be a little kind to others and expect the same in return, when you feel something is wrong or there is a small problem, shoot me a message before you click report. If your messages are disabled do not send me a message, thank-you you!

I do not understand WHY obits are not always used/included on the memorials so many times, they are public records, and families pay big money for them with living family names included. Families have the stones engraved with a name/names are people who are still living, so why the complaints on this site?!? I have connected thousands of families just using the obit that the family paid for, I have many, many people personally thank you for adding their family obits and connecting other family. Many people use this site for genealogy purposes and it helps if family are connected!

Sadly, other members feel the need to contact FG regarding other members' memorials, if you have that much spare time on your hands maybe you should find a new hobby!
