Remembering Our Friends Memorials
Founded in 2007 in Second Life, and in Avination in 2011. Remembering Our Friends Memorials were created to memorialize Virtual World residents that passed away in first life, and later we decided to add a section for friends and family of Second Life residents who had never been in Virtual Worlds..
Remembering Our Friends Memorials are surrounded by meadows and trees in a natural setting. They are peaceful places to contemplate and remember.
On the grounds are placed free standing monuments. All were custom made, and designed to the specifications of the requestor.
Since ROF's inception, hundreds of plaques have been created to memorialize those who have passed. There is a story and real feeling behind each one. The the people come from all over the world, from many cultures, demographics, and lifestyles.
To some the Virtual World is the only place they have to memorialize their lost friends and family. It is so true that we find deep connections with people through the Metaverse Community. Behind every avatar is a real person with real feelings.
ROF helps provide closure and support. Now we are getting more and more people requesting memorials for family and friends who never were Virtual World residents. Please come to ROF and wander through the memorial buildings and surrounding forest. Feel the peace, emotion and love that abound.
