Another Rant.......LOL

All day long, every time I have logged onto Facebook, I have seen the name of a person  in the upper right-hand corner where birthdays are reported. He died this year.  The first time I saw his name, it gave me a bit of a jolt and after that, I just was a wee bit shaken at seeing it all day. It seems to me that after a person is deceased, his birthday announcement should be removed from Facebook. 

I expect that some of you will disagree with that opinion and I'd like to hear why you do. If you don't agree, what is your plan for your Facebook page after you die?  Have you directed someone, a family member perhaps, to delete your page?  Why? Why not? 

NOTE:  for those of you who are not on Facebook......move along.....there's nothing to see here.

I see lots of people I know that have passed on in the birthday list. It doesn't bother me. I see my cousin come up every year. I love that people post to his page on his birthday. Lots of people just post memories or things they remember about him. And some will add pictures of him that others might not have seen.

My children have all my p/w's and hopefully will close everything down for me. Sorry for the sad reminder, very difficult.

I only have a ghost FB account set up by my niece so I can visit family FB accounts. Not sure how any of it works. Moving along now.

I don't have a Facebook account but I just wanted to say "HI" and send you all the best with your coming surgery, my dear....
