Testimonials
From Our Generous Supporters
"Second Life is not a game, despite the tendency by some to treat it that way. At its best it is a community, and like any true community we must remember and honor those that came before us, but who no longer walk among us. Whether friend of family, First Life or Second, there is no better way in SL to commemorate those who touched your life than through Remembering Our Friends.
The memorial services I have attended at ROF have been every bit as moving as those in RL, and just as important in providing comfort and closure to those who have lost a loved one. I support ROF and urge all SL residents to do likewise."
"I chose to sponsor ROF because I feel it provides a greatly needed service to those that seek a place of peace for mourning their loved ones. There are many in secondlife that seek a place of warmth and caring and support. I have the utmost respect for this sim and the ppl that run it, as they have been here for me when I needed them. So please do come by for a visit if you seek a place in sl to mourn a loved one."
"Losing a friend is never easy. Keeping a sense of calmness and maintaining your friend's memory are important elements. For me Resemberling Our Friends is not only a way to honour our friend and to keep his memory alive in our hearts, but also in Second Life, a place he called home."
"Remembering Our Friends Memorial provides a needed service in the virtual world, where those who have passed are remembered. People come to ROF from all over the world, from many cultures, demographics, and lifestyles. To some SL is the only place they have to memorialize their lost friends and family. "
" One of the gifts of the grid is the ability to reach heights that are not possible in RL. Many of us will no longer experience the RL joys of running through a field, holding another's hand, building the creations we see only in our mind's eye. But here, for a time, we can. Friendships are forged, love affairs are born, lives are forever touched. This may be a virtual reality, but it IS reality, the people we bond with here make it so...and so, when we lose those people to yet another plane, the pain we feel is acute, and yes, very real.
I have lost many in my years on the grid and I know many of you have too. RL offers tangible ways of processing our grief: funerals, memorials, visitations. It is harder to achieve that in SL and therefore it can be harder to resolve our losses. The Remembering Our Friends Memorial provides an important service to the online community by offering a place to channel our grief in a beautiful and comforting atmosphere...and to remember our friends who have passed on with love and respect.
Because the Memorial continues to exist only because of our donations, I decided to become a sponsor. Our departed friends deserve to be remembered, and this is the perfect place to keep their candles lit."

" I have sponsored ROF because what they have done for me in my time of need . When my wife pasted away and I found SL Mike and Carlo make it easy for me to have a plaque made to honor her, and I can say ROF does work and help."
In the near future, world economies will operate in real and virtually based environments. It will be very common for a consumer, if he so chooses to walk in the afternoon into a shop at a local high street to pick up a product that he ordered and paid for in a virtual representation in an online persistent immersive environment. The prediction, that billions of Dollars, Pounds and Euros will exchange hands in micro transactions is based on studies by Gartner™ and other technical and social research leaders.
Pixel Lighthouse understands that this brave new world of economical growth might look confusing as wordings like SIM, Avatar, rezzing and others are a new language that needs to be understood correctly.
Pixel Lighthouse has extensive experiences in virtual economies and understands the demand and the expectations of your customer and has the ability to engage your customer into your virtual representation, to make your investment into this new economy worth while.
