UPDATED DECEMBER, 2023:

Please stop by and say hi to our little four footer sweetie, Chiquita the Chihuahua - her memorial is #261984201, and she left us yesterday, on my brother Ron's birthday. I know that I am not on here much to visit or interact with FGravers, but I do appreciate your thinking of Gannon's and my loved ones...and o, we loved that little dog.

I also want to say TY to every single FGraver who takes the time to send in edits for me, catches typos - my vision issues continue to cause blips such as misspellings, not being able to decipher decades old paperwork/handwriting, etc. Somebody just told me that "Well, I just update the veterans options for you, and let you know if there's a typo - it isn't that much." It IS alot, and I truly do appreciate your kindnesses.

Some of my usual info below will stay up, as it still needs stating even after updating this page for the first time in six months:

Please contact me through any memorial that l manage by using the edit link, or through my private email if you have that information. Because of our medical issues, a response may be a little slow right now, but l will answer asap, l promise.

Also... please remember that due to my vision issues, I have assistance with my memorial pages, the text layouts, etc. Therefore, some may cosmetically look different than others - it depends on who is helping me and who is listening to what I suggest, lol. If you catch a mistake or unresolved issue (i.e. if a FGraver hasn't been acknowledged for transfer, contributions, etc.), please let me know that, too, and I'll catch up.

Please note that I will no longer post any images/photos sent to me for memorial pages; TY to FGrave staff for their suggestions and assistance re this issue. If you have a photo or image that you would like posted to one of my memorials, please go through the proper avenues to acquire a FG account, and directly post through your own accounts. For the first time in ten years on here, I am removing images that were verified to me as original/copyright free/etc., and I simply don't have time to verify your sources. If an image, newspaper scan etc. has been removed re FGrave's rules, please feel free to contact me for copies of the ones you need. And remember to not repost them, they are for your personal files, only. TY for understanding.

Please note that I will no longer approve edits regarding immediate family members of mine - I think that it is an abysmal statement on society to have to acknowledge in print that I see no reason to list some personal facts / details regarding my own family. I write openly and extensively enough - all of which can be found on the web, through various journal and magazine sites, and even on Youtube with a few of my pieces being used in art / public reading events - that I find it appalling that there are those who seem to want to go TMZ on here and note suicides and so forth. If you want to read more about my family, Google me -This is a tribute site, and the memorial pages will remain as such. Thank You.

Please note: When submitting a name and/or memorial page for inclusion to my "Victims of Suicide" cemetery, PLEASE take into the consideration the deceased ones' surviving family and friends. That means to make certain there is no issue with identifying their loved one as a victim of suicide; I try to follow up every name suggested through Faces of Suicide, memorial pages, etc. but some names don't seem to have any detail online. Again, respect the friends and family of a submitted name, and please note sources of info for me. TY.

Aaaand (almost done, I promise): I have had to join the ranks of rule followers regarding memorial transfers, and ask that you refer to the FG rules before asking for bulk transfers/transfers without verifiable connection to the individual, then insulting my dog and my mama when I respond accordingly. The old saying that one person had to bring a problem to the party applies here, and I have found myself in the middle of "I'm an immediate relative. And the memorial that YOU created and then transferred is being held hostage!" (In one case, a military member's page that I created and then transferred under false representation - with over 2000 tokens - had to be deleted so that his own sister could put a page back up. I willingly had the sister's back and we got the first page down and her new one relisted, but she should never have had to resort to such action).

And...Please note that I have begun posting "Information as posted at time of management transfer" on many of my pages; firstly, I do not believe in having a memorial entrusted to me and then the first thing that I do is to strip the previous management's hard work - no, no, no and I don't understand those who DO do that! Secondly, I have no way of knowing the previous management's source of fact/information, and so please don't message me with "This is WRONG, how dare you!" I am presently trying to proof my memorials again, however, while recovering from some health issues; and obviously if I see an error, need for editing and so forth, I WILL do that.

Everybody stay safe and take care of one another - and again, I'm not online much, but Gannon and I do think often of all of our FGraver friends, and we hope that you and yours have a peaceful Thanksgiving and holiday season. =)

Peace and Love - Rhonda C. Poynter
